A good small plane for some long legs?

Planning out your flight is a key. My suggestion is to re-trace a famous real world flight. For example there is this one. First aerial circumnavigation - Wikipedia
Adjusted for range and time it’s about 80 hops. Next part is to grab navigraph charts or sky vector and figure your routing between airports. If you’re in MSFS doing flight levels in a fast jet is really counterproductive for this type of adventure, the sandbox is really good looking on the ground so cruise time is for grabbing screenshots :). So use either sky vector or navigraph and figure your way around Victor airways which are for the most part below 5 thousand feet unless you’re in a mountains. Plus in a low and slow plane it gives you plenty of opportunity to get some good practice with hand flying VOR to VOR flying plenty of landings visual and instrument diversions etc. I really enjoy DA62 mod it’s very docile very trimmable and at the same time has decent speed, climb, and ceiling characteristics.
