Aircraft selection

There are some aircraft available beside the standard Extra 300S which are capable of flying virtual aerobatics. Most of them are freeware, some payware. To choose the right aircraft is always a bit trial-and-error, since the flight dynamics are often quite different. Some planes can perform some figures better, some figures not so good. It depends a bit on the class you intend to fly and your personal capabilities.

Because of the better spin characteristics, the Decathlons and Marchetti's are ok for Primary and Sportsman. If you want to go higher, at the moment I would opt for the Christen Eagle II. You should be able to find them in the internet.
