Now is your chance to make fun of me!!

Ok, so I'm pretty new to combat simulators (I know some of you aren't going to qualify BoP as a sim, but whatever) and I'm kind of lost at some of the finer points.

Why, oh dear god why, does my plane stall out on a simple bank?!?!? Maybe I'm not getting the physics of it, but I just don't see what I'm doing wrong. I try taking the bank more gradually, use less speed (which is totally counter intuitive) and use more speed. Some times the plane loves me and handles awesomely, other times it stalls, I sort of get it back and it stalls again.

I hate playing on "Arcade" settings, it makes me feel like a child, and I love a challenge, but I find no resources to help me know what I'm doing wrong.

Please help.
Cheers,
