Hi Frank, there are quite a few planes that will be great for IMAC practice e.g. the Extra 330, Cap 232, and Giles 202. You could set your simulation speed to 60-80% in the beginning and then gradually increase it to 100% as you become better at the routines. There are a few excellent videos on IMAC made with AFPD here
