This was posted awhile ago by Micheal Wargo found it interesting on how he described flying 3D to flying a normal plane.

It is a very unique transition you have to make. When I fly 3d, I can feel the weigh of the plane like I am supporting it in my hands. (I hope this makes sense) It almost feels like I can feel the weight in the sticks, and It is like I have it in my hands. A very proactive connected feeling. When a plane is near stopped in a harrier, bump and release the throttle and catch it with throttle and feel the bouncy of the plane. It is a very different way to fly. Conversely, sport flyers get anxious landing. I am not necessarily guiding a plane to the runway, I am just holding it and setting it down. YOu have seen me land a lot of crazy ways. Never think about plane safety because I feel like I am setting it down on the ground. It is a whole different perspective.
Does this make sense to anyone but me?
