Average Ages of Common GA Aircraft

[rwanttaja]

Ron, from what source are you getting your info on Experimentals? An awful lot of them are registered under the builder's name, with no reference to the provider of the design/plans/kit.

I use the downloadable FAA registration database. Most builders tend to use some sort of variation in the "common" name for the aircraft, and I search on that. For instance, I search for "RV-8" , "RV8", "RV 8", etc.

There are outlyers, of course. When developing my filters, I make them pretty general and narrow them down as needed to exclude other types.

Favorite case was a "BEDE-Four".....
