I only tried it on the sim my LHS but from what I remember the landings seemed different and a bit harder on the sim. The plane itself for me is a lot of fun to fly. Based on other comments I maxed out the ailerons (about 1 1/2" each direction). Rolls are still slow but it will turn fast like a standard sport plane. I have a TH 75 engine on it which is plenty. It takes off by itself in about 75 feet and actually is surprizingly fast. For landing it can be slowed down to LT40 trainer type speeds without the flaps! I wanted to get used to the plane first so haven't tried them yet. Hint: the colors are hard to make out at a distance. I added some yellow bands to help with that. Also if you are having trouble seeing the plane and are not sure what its doing, let go of the right sick. It will self correct like a trainer! This helped me save the plane when I got too far a couple of times until I got used to the look of it.
