i suppose in general.  looks, handling, everything.

personally, i like the Baron 58 because i just find it to be a pleasant aircraft.  looks nice, its small, and handles nicely.

i dont really like Cessnas much because their designs are very uniform and otherwise boring.

My favourite out of that list is the Beech Baron 58D...

...but I also enjoy taking the Else out for a spin, especially the Amphibian version with the built in Wine Bar and Sauna, and painted in Shocking Pink with a Purple flash...Wink...!

The Mooney is actually a fine aircraft. But you have to fix it. The way it comes you have to constantly change the fuel tanks from right to left else you start going in circles. The way to fix this is to take this action: copy from the Cessna 172, the code "Cessna!Fuel_Selector" and paste it over "Mooney_Bravo!Fuel Selector" in the panel.cfg. The Cessna selector draws from both tanks at the same time keeping the weight distribution even in the wings.  Wink Cheesy

The Mooney is actually like that in real life so in reality there is nothing wrong with it.  Although if you have a limited joystick, such as the one I have without all the extra buttons, it would make it easier to fly.  I flew a 2000 Mooney M20S for my commercial and CFI certificates and every so often you would have to switch tanks to keep the proper fuel balance.  Man that was a fun airplane to fly though.  Cool

Jeez, there are literally thousands of types of aircraft (hundreds of thousands if you include homebuilds and experimentals) and you made a poll with just a few?

My favorite is the DC-3 because of it's history of service and reliability.  I like the Airbus A330 for it's looks, the Boeing 737 for my own experiences with it, and the Grumman Bearcat for it's awesome performance at airshows (Howard Pardue is amazing!)

Hey, G-Fire25, Is there any other plane you're thinking of the whole day?! Cheesy

Well, some other things it could copy into quotes? Cheesy
