I've flown real models like the Funtana 40 where one model was nearly impossible to hover while an other was down right easy. Setup was the difference. CG being a biggy but engine and propeller will effect the velocity of air and it's displacement over any given control surface. Air temperature and air pressure also effect how and airplane performs in flight and while hovering. It's kinda tuff to know what others experiences have been so I set up my sim models to perform the way I enjoy them.

Scriptt, If you would like to PM me with your email address I'll send you my Hype's modified TMD file. Backup the original and replace it with mine if you wish. I don't have the stock 40% Extra 300s in my inventory of aerofly models anymore. I removed all the models I don't fly. There are so many good flying downloads plus the models I make for myself that I had to make room for more:-)

Like I said before, I'm not trying to convince anyone one way or another. It's just Aerofly as a huge amount of potential. It's all in how you apply it as with any sim, as well as where your interests lye. What it all comes down to once again, is personal preference. No disrespect to anyone here but to Rjovale, I would recommend rather than taking anyone's word for anything you try before you buy and make the call for your self. As you have read, people have very different opinions.
I thing I've helped out as much as I can here.
Best of luck.
