I completed my instrument rating in a Piper Warrior PA28-161. It was my favorite of all the single engine planes I've flown. That DA40 looks fun too. I have flown one in Flight Simulator, but that is a close as I've come to it. I see them all the time in Baltimore doing flight training, nice airplane! I haven't flown a light single engine since 1996. I've flown King Airs, Twin Commanders, a Navajo Chieftian, and lately of course the Dash 8 100 and 300 models. I'd probable over control a small aircraft after being used to the large twins. That's why in IL2 online I almost always exclusivly fly bombers; I'm used to the way they handle.
