How often do you fly default planes?

Use the Trike for loading, other than that, removed all of them.

I really enjoy the default Cub and Skyhawk. I've got the default Comet and Jenny from FS9 in both FS9 and FSX... (I've never seen better than the default on either of those.)

Quite often - probably close to 50% of the time. I like the Maule, Goose, Extra, Hornet and Trike. I fly on occasion the Caravan, Mustang, Boeing 737 and Bell 206. The only ones I never fly are the Airbus, Mooney and King Air. I have mods for most of the aircraft and replaced some sounds and gauges.

I'll put my input. 

 

Almost always payware for me. From the A2A 172 to the PMDG.

 

Sometimes i enjoy doing flights with the default aircraft though, (CRJ, 737, A320, 172, Baron), but thats about it.

As they don't take much resources I use them when testing my scenery projects and when I buy new addon sceneries, other than that never. 

The Cessna 172 Trainer to rank for P1-P2 on Vatsim, but then A2A did a fantastic add-on, so now no more defaults LOL

 

 

Maybe 5% if I was being generous.

 

I like the ability to remove the yoke in third-party aircraft so it doesn't block the switches and guages below it.

Since my time in FSX is probably 70% development and 30% actual serious flying, the default Bell 206 is my default aircraft.

So do you just go into the FSX/Sim Objects/Aircraft folder and delete everything default (other than the Trike)?

No...i move them into a folder called "Not Used", just in case!  Actually i go further than that.  I only fly a single livery of plane, BA, other than the planes that don't come in that livery (A2A 172, Q400, Twin Otter); the other liveries are either uninstalled or moved to a not used texture folder.  

 

That way i only get the planes i fly, not pages of liveries and horrid default planes.

Use the trike to see new scenery / scenery changes

 

Sometimes 1/month trip in chopper

When I want just 'hop around' without fiddling with CDU/MCDU/FMS etc, I fly the B58, the Goose and the  Glider, though the B60 is a great payware alternative.

I use the Maule to inspect scenery low and slow (has great visibility)  and the F-18 to inspect it low and fast.  Very occasionally I'll use the Robinson 'copter. That's about it.
