Echoing what others have said here, you can't go wrong with the Comanche. It's fast, relatively efficient, and has good handling characteristics. The Bonanza v-tail will give you slightly more sporty handling, I hear. If you want something with STOL-ing capability, the Cessnas will give you that. If you want something a little more exciting, the P-40 is still available for free (definitely pick that up while you still can). They are all great picks, so for your first choose one that you think best fits your personality as a pilot.

All of A2A's Accusim aircraft are "study-level." The engines are intricately simulated and you can easily damage them by pushing them too hard, which can come back to bite you in the behind later when you least expect it; just like in a real airplane.
