Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have spent several hours with the search tool and decided to ask my own question.
I have been flying a sig kadet LT40 for 2 yrs now and have a several hrs flight time and "too many to count" touch and go landings in various wind and still conditions. I am very bored with it and am looking to acquire a second plane. I was seriously considering the GP cessna 182 but after reading other posts i am not sure i have enough runway to land it where i fly. So i am thinking about a .4-.6 size Extra or Cap or similar ARF. I have been using the G2 sim and have many hours of time with the cap and cessna as well as many other aircraft. The question is: With this limited amount of experience do you think i would have much trouble flying the Cap or Extra? Also, which model would you recommend of the type i have listed? Which have better landing characteristics? I will be flying off a dirt runway at 4500ft but i will eventually be flying off a paved surface at 2800 ft. Any advice or input would be appreciated.

thank you
