Don't get too excited about saving per plane (with the idea your save "automatically gets switched". You can save an unlimited # of stick settings (named appropriately so that you remember them), but you have to go into control options and pick the stick setups for your plane you going to fly

Yup, you do have to choose the controls profile manually whenever you switch aircraft.  Personally, I'm fine with that as I tend to have only a few core aircraft that I use often in the sim (and/or care enough about how they fly), and it takes about 5 seconds to enter the menu and switch profiles. 

If you do want auto-switching based on selected aircraft, that's where FSUIPC comes in.  But for me, my plan is to have a default "zero curves, zero other changes" profile to use with new aircraft as a starting point, and then I'll tweak as necessary and save the new profile named for the aircraft.  Then you just toggle them using the sideways arrows under your controller names.
