Kitplanes Readers Choice Awards for 2004 article in the December issue.

Question #9
Which of these new kit aircraft do you currently own or would you most
like to build?

The poll revealed:
Dream Aircraft's Tundra 19%

Me thinks someone stuffed the ballot box. According to the Kitplanes
directory in the same issue there are only 2 completed and flying.

There are 19% of the respondants that own or would like to build this
aircraft? I've been messing with this stuff for about 10 years now and
never heard of the plane or company.

Some of the other poll results raise the eyebrows too.

Consider that Kitplanes doesn't have a particularly large circulation.
Also, consider that not many of their subscribers are going to respond to a
poll. Then, consider that if a the survey is mentioned in a type specific
newsgroup or e-mail forum, it might result in builders/flyers of that
aircraft responding to the poll, which could/would lead to biased results..
Same thing with any uncontrolled poll. Take 'em with a grain of salt.
