So I'm wondering

- if you have a good calibration.
- if you've flown the real Edge 540 33% or Ultimate TOC 46%
- if you have experience w/ big airplanes

The answer might be 'yes' to all of these, so I'm back to scratching my
head.

One thing worth noting is that in real life when hovering it's done up
close. When it's close (or even 100 ft away) there's a lot of depth
perception cues that help to keep things in check. In the sim there is
no depth perception, and this does make it harder to hover in a sim.

The second thing is the bigger the planes, the harder it is to correct
them when the do go off axis. With little airplanes a flick of the
rudder can put it back right, but big planes have more inertia relative
to the aerodynamic forces that can be generated, and this means when
they start to lean their going somewhere usually. You'll notice that
when full scale airplanes do torque rolls they do it pointed perfectly
straight up - little room for error or else it will peal off. This is a
result of the aero forces going as the square of the span (area
dependent) while the inertia forces go as the cube of the span (volume
related).

If you have any insight here, we're listening ....
