I like the Aerocommanders by Milton Schupe and his talented group.These handfly very nicely indeed.Adam

Handfly? For my money, probably the FeelThere CRJ. It just seems so smooth!

Anything by Realair. But they are not the easiest, as they unlike most will actually crash if you do serious mistakes like not watching your speed on the approach. -

As well as the recommendations above, the Aerosoft Katana is among the easiest handflyers, as well as being realistic. The MAAM DC-3 is also a really good handflyerAllcott

Among Jets surely fokker 70 and 100 series from project fokker

Apart of course for the MAAMSIM products in which I have a vested interest, my vote currently goes to the FSDZigns L-1049a Constellation, Hand flies beautifully.But wait till the RealAir Spitfire MK14 comes out! then you'll be in for a treat!CheersTimhttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif

The Lyons Cub feels very faithful to real life in the air, though taxiing is way too easy.

I've always enjoyed hand flying the 767's from Project Opensky. Very little adjustment to the aileron and rudder null points is required.http://www.2decker.com/media/solent1-2.JPGAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD

In addition to the others mentioned, I would add the FSD planes as well. Especially the latest twins, the Aerostar and Navajo. Those planes are some of the smoothest and most stable planes available to fly.

Really? I have the Scout and find it easy to fly, really easy in fact. Maybe the SF is much different though, I don't have it.
