So I'm about a year away from purchasing a flying aircraft. As such, I am trying to immerse myself in these boards so that I have as much knowledge, even if it's second hand, as possible. I was wondering what this board thought about a first aircraft for someone with a few hundred hours (including tail wheel, aerobatic, and multi time)?
I was originally considering a Pitts, but man those things hurt my back because the seats do not recline, and my stick and rudder skills are just not there yet for one. I'm sure I could learn with a good checkout, but I'm thinking something more comfortable might be better. Beyond that I was thinking an RV 3/4 or a cub. At some point down the road I'd like a rocket (or maybe a Model 12...then again who doesn't), but for now I want to look at aircraft that will allow me to build time and have some fun while I'm at it. Thanks everyone!
