Default RE: Just ordered AFP!?!?!?!?!

Ok, I've played it, and I have to say I'm very impressed. However, I have noticed that it is near impossible to get the planes to tip stall, or spin out in a very tight loop. Also, I have to admit I've never really flown much 3D with a real plane, but the planes feel almost too stable at slow speeds. None of the aerobatic planes have any real tendency for wing rocking, or tip stalling. I have flown a Kyosho .40 sized cap (real one, not sim) and it always felt like it was on the brink of dropping a wing during harrier decents and other wing-stalled maneuvers. If I mash full up even in smaller planes in the sim (UCanDo for example) it always does a perfect wall or harrier. I really am in not a place to say this isn't how it really is, but from what I've heard, I (being a neophyte 3D'er) probably shouldn't be able to do perfect near-verticle harrier landings time-and-time again. I have heard the bigger they are the easier they fly, but is it THAT different?

Hey all you pilots of real-world 3D planes (who have used AFP), shed some light on this for me.
