Very nice!! I have one of those. I bought it as a club trainer but seem to gravitate to that plane for pure fun and relaxation. Great plane to learn with.

Now, do yourself a favor and get a buddy bo and an instructor to help you go throug the training. The simulator is fine, but it will not get you through the necessary first few flight trining you really need. You want to learn to fly without destroying that fine aircraft.

As far as a second plane is concerned, the list that RCKen developed is a great place to look over and see what you want to fly next. My second plane was a Tiger 60 with an OS 61 SF engine. Great combination. The plane is a great second because it is very stable and large.. which is a good combination because you can see what it is dong and how your inputs work with the plane's response. That goes with any larger low wing trainer type aircraft.

Remember.. find a good instructor and work with him to get qualified. You won't regret it.
