Just curious about the use cases of the members on this forum. The choices are deliberately limited to two camps: in or out of the system. If you are “in”, that means you talk to ATC, have a ADS-b, use the airplane in complex airspace, use the airplane as a transportation appliance, etc. Even if you “sometimes” use the airplane in this fashion, you are “in”.

If you are “below the radar”, you use your machine to be airborne. You avoid ATC, you don’t travel, you just relish flight for the sake of flying.

No judgement here. Just curious. And for those like me who are fortunate enough to have both, if you do participate “in the system”, then you know the cost of the game - vote “in”
