Maybe, you need to relax the joystick center settings - that will reduce the constant need of trim and improve your speed and energy saving + maksmanship.
My self use to play without deadzone and max sensitivity of the game input sliders but toned the sliders down - especially the first ones and wooalla,the p-51 becomes a fantastic plane
