RE: good second plane
Norfolk, the funny thing is that the lighter and superior flying planes have spoiled me and it is hard to go back to those run-of-the-mill types that the mainstream wants to keep buying, flying and crashing.
For those who like to fly planes that require a higher level of judgement and skill to bring home in one piece.....continue to march. I'd rather be flying something that I can practice eye level flat spins with and land in the back of my truck.
