Which you control with the elevator
Tipping at the airport.
Someday I'll come up with something profound to put here.
Low Wing or High Wing? Why even ask. It takes BOTH to make a real airplane.

You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

Sorry, I meant to say that if you think that power controls airspeed you need to fly gliders. That was just a typo.(if there were a blushing smiley that would be right here)
Ben,
A "blushing smiley" would be a great addition, if you post often enough you will need one once in awhile...posting from experience!

Nanchang VS Yak 52
The only debate I don't think was mentioned here was mogas v avgas. VW power V Rotax V old lyc/cont.
As to the others. Champ V Cub.. No contest as Luscombe beats them both.
Four wings are always cooler then just a high wing or low wing, but where do Canards fit in hmmm?
You take off and land in a taildragger, the rest is just flying.
I must fly the wrong types of gliders as some of the ones I've flown feel like barges after some of the homebuilts I've been in but to show I'm not biased what's a propellor for? Answer, to keep the pilot cool, watch him sweat when it stops turning.
Just to keep this ball rolling....What killed GA? There is whole thread on the Hanger Talk listing, lots of good discussion there!

Is the Bonanza the V-Tailed doctor killer?
Or, is the Mooney the doctor killer?
I say Bonanza!
