 Orville Shields had an idea so good that I decided to make it a
regular feature of the Ampeer and an archive on the EFO WEBsite. If you would like to
submit your opinions on aircraft that you have personally flown, please use Orville’s rating
system of 1 to 5 stars with the following modifications.
You may have only one ***** as the BEST EVER electric plane
you’ve ever flown and only one 0-star as the worst electric plane you’ve ever flown or TRIED to
fly. Use **** for outstanding/really good, *** for good/middle of the road, **
for well it flies. Comments would be greatly appreciated. (If possible, complete as much of the
form below as you can. It can be copied and pasted into email or regular mail.) Be sure to give details for the
specific aircraft flown. The more details you can supply, the better. . (Note that only
Orville's original opinions will be published not following my modified guidelines. If you give
me more than one ***** or 0-star, I'll ask you to make a choice before I will publish your rating.)
The disclaimer: These are the personal opinions of the
pilots involved and may or may not reflect my personal opinion, or the opinion of anyone
associated with the Electric Flyers Only, Inc. If your opinion differs with that of one
expressed here, please contact the pilot making the statement, and not ME! I will be happy to
print anything you have to say that differs with another pilot's opinion, as long as it is
civil! Folks, this is for infomational purposes only! Only YOU can determine what is
"BEST" for you and what has worked BEST for YOU.
Please NOTE: The planes are in alphabetical order for each star rating group. Planes
with multiple ratings, have links to the other ratings.
No, I don't expect you to do all of the following, but the more information you can provide,
the better for others.
