IMO you should try to use a more "natural" physic model. It's really
no big deal to do that and it's much more satisfying for the player if
the flaps behave like they want to.

True, but I have to agree with Glenn here. Try to get the physics
right first (unless you think they are like they should be now). This
will make the whole process of testing features and optimizing the
gameplay much easier.

Just my 0.16 EUR cents. :-)

Have fun!
