Could someone please explain what the term 'hand flyer' aerodynamics means.  

I am new to the FS World and have a lot of questions.

I don't know if that term has been "copyrighted" or not, but it seems to be used generically for "realistic".. as in, "you can easilly fly it by hand".

I suppose that's subjective.   ::)   Easy and realistic are kind of mutually exclusive when it comes to flying a simulator... or a real airplane  ;)

Being a person who has built model airplanes since the 40's you can rest assured that I will be entering this asylum.

I have spent hundereds of hours "super detailing" plastic models until my hands would no longer allow it.

This looks like a place where I should fit right in.

Re-inventing the wheel is a total waste of time, so please be patient with my sometimes dumb questions,  Inquiring minds need to know.
