I'm partial to antiques WWII era and earlier. Those are just fun to fly and simple and tail dragging into a wheat field or grass strip is just fun. That said, parts and expertise are almost gone. I have decided an RV will be my next plane. I haven't decided which one and I don't want to spend 7-10 years building one. I swore I'd never buy an experimental but done by the right builder they are better than any other airplane at their respective price points. Until then, day VFR only for me in my 75 year young machine. It's simple enough that I can do the work.
