The problem with these kinds of posts on RAS is that you will always get a very contradictory response. Everyone has their preference and opinion. Read what you see here, do your own research about the ships mentioned, formulate your own opinion after everyone has said their piece, and do some more research to find the technical/handling details of the ship you are interested.

In the end, no matter what you buy, you will be able to learn to fly it, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy flying it. It takes a lot of flying for someone to outgrow an airplane.

Enjoy and good luck!
