i wish the instruction booklet for this game actually listed the planes and more or less some small bullet point "pros/cons" for them.

To counteract the twitchiness you can try to adjust the sensitivity of your elevators, this helps a lot, especially when using a controller. As for the engine cutting out, this usually happens when you dive downwards real fast, and when pulling too many negative G's (pushing nose-down a lot). Try to avoid those situations and you should be fine.
