Learning curve? It's not _that_ hard is it? Maybe you tried one of the
test versions with strange physics? In my opinion the planes should
behave somewhat like real airplanes, but still be fun to fly. Of
course there will be several types of plane, and some will be easier
to fly than others.  Sopwith also has a learning curve, and I can't
say that I find it much easier than what I'd like Airstrike to be. If
you send me your favourite aerodynamics parameters that you found
using the airstrike-airtest version then it will be easier for me to
actually do anything about the plane behaviour. That is the purpose of
putting out a test version..

The idea is to have the planes behave a bit like real planes.. You should not
 have to figure out the physics because you already know it from real
life.
