My question is; when you file a flight plan nowadays is it mostly
using a GPS box or do many of you still use VOR stations to
triangulate your course or ADF for that matter. I realize that not all
personal aviation planes are equipped with all the gear for IFR flight
but most probably do use some electronic aids for VFR flight as well.

Pretty much GPS for everything, nowadays. I may have VORs in the flight
plan, but I won't generally use the receivers in the airplane to navigate to
them unless I just feel like practicing. Their days are numbered and ADFs
are already disappearing fast.

UART G force tripped box

What the heck is that?


Another question would be; these days, a VHF radio, GPS unit, UART &
maybe a transponder would be all that would be required for a VFR
flight.

As Mike Nash said, you don't need any of those things if you stay out of
certain kinds of airspace.
