As you know I am new here and fairly new too the hobby, even though I have bought many airplanes that are out of my current skill level while my job is going well now knowing how the economy will be come new year but I have a Alpha 40 as my trainer with about 15 hours on her, and didnt crash it yet LOL, I have a hangar 9 camel with a .80 saito and a TF P-51 with a knight 100 which is my all time favorite plane and cant wait till the day I maiden her, she is just waiting in the basement for next season. Now as for my question after about another 10 or so hours on my alpha I would like to go too a Hangar 9 Pulse XT 40 PNP or a Hangar 9 Pulse XT 60. Would either of those be a good choice? If so which one should I go with? Also in your fellas opinion after I master my first low wing will I be ready for my P-51 yet or will I have too go with something else first so the P being my 4th plane? I do have a Hangar 9 Camel, would that be a ok second plane? Or a sundowner 50 for 2nd? Ive seen them fly and have heard that they are for intermediate and advanced pilots and since there wing loading is so low they can land at a nice slow speed. I have been on my real flight sim atleast 2-3 hours everyday practicing with the P-51 ( Does that fly similar on the sim as it would in real life?) I have not built any planes yet but would like too but I am a professional bodybuilder and Nutritionist and working on my 2nd book too be published so time is not something I have alot of and the time I have is used on my Alpha or spent with my fiancee or on the sim. Or tearing up the neighbors bushes with my supercharged Jato 3.3 LMAO... Thank you all for your help, any suggestions would be very helpful.
