My understanding is apprx 19,000 members noted quad/multirotor/fpv usage, but don't know the complete breakdown, or if there is one.

No hard numbers here either, but I believe planes was where it all began, so I'd have to say plenty of people have done it that way, continue to do it this way, and might actually start it this way. I don't do it in either config but I've got to assume the airplane is the easiest platform.
