i would have to agree with that, its the same with my RC car, i feel very attached to it and you actully feel every little diffrence.
When people try my car they notice right away how reactive it is, too much for them normally, but it does what i tell it, small stick movement = small car movement
as a result most of my planes are also very direct feeling compaired to most peoples.
i hate flying planes that feel like mush, (dosnt mean rearward CofG and twitchy). its strange to say that because your not attached, but when i fly i forget that, i am the plane, its part of me.
i dont even realise i have a transmitter in my hands, or what my thumbs are doing unless im trying to learn something new.

It becomes very obvisious when you get given a new plane to fly and you land it at your feet first time out, you dont know where the stall is, you just feel how the plane is reacting and make it do what you want it too.
I remember doing this with Grand Tourismo when it first came out too, i'd spend ages tuning the car because i felt every little difference, and thats a GAME!

the down side to this is you test fly a plane and it feels great, a Rapier in this example, i flew it low and fast, stable very scale like, it was a great plane to fly, i handed it over to the owner telling him how good it was, within a few seconds it was a bank and yank over reacting monster!!! for him anyway
