I'm just learning 3d myself, but here's my $.02 - I've got it down pat too on Realflight G2 but it feels very different in real life. On G2 I can torque roll the stock cap all day long, down to the ground, touch the tail several times, etc. In real life I'm lucky if I get 2-3 rotations. I think 12 is my best so far. I'm flying a Doghouse eXtreme/Saito .91, and have flown a friends H9 UltraStick 60/Saito 100 also. In real life it doesn't want to torque near as easily - your attitude (position) must be almost perfect for it to even think about starting to torque around. Depending on how it falls out and how you use the throttle, recovery seems about the same, maybe a little easier in real life. Like I said, I'm no expert, but that's my experience so far. I'm interested to see what others say about this too! Good luck!
