The 142 is great to get into because it is hands down the biggest piece of sh!t to pose as an aircraft...ever. And I don't think the visuals on any of them work...ever. So, if you can find one, it'll be great practice because nothing will be as pitch sensitive and roll excessive as that bucket of smashed @ssholes.

Edit - I wouldn't pay for one though. Even that $3/hour feels like highway robbery.
