RE: AFPD taught me how to fly!
Shalom!
Congratulations on your successful transition from sims to real planes! I wish I had been able to access simulators like this when I was learning....I'd have saved myself a lot of money! As for "next planes" to try, perhaps a low wing intermediate plane would be a good start. Might be fun to learn to handle taildraggers while you're at it! I think the World Models Mach II-S is a great second plane for both purposes, and it's quite reasonably priced. Good luck!
