I thought it was a good assessment.

Most console players only play in 3rd person, and certainly don't know what to do when sim elements are thrown in. lol.

The whining I saw about Over G is evidence enough of that!

I can't remember the last time I played a console flight game that had spinning stalls. Oh wait.... this is the first!

Definitely need a flightstick for sim mode; the thumbstick is too small.

Hopefully there will be a stall recovery tutorial in the full game or y'all will nickname me "lawn dart"!

Actually, I'm crashing less now that i've turned my sensativity down to about 2/3 and started slowing my motions down a little.

Actually, I think it is.

With high power brushless motors and lipo batteries, many RC pilots run giant scale airplanes with electrics. Performance with electrics is equal to if not superior than nitro planes.

I think this is a kyosho FW190 with a 55" wingspan - it has split flaps, which I don't recall to many FW's in this size having.

I believe they make this plane in nitro and brushless configuration.
