It's floaty but you'd expect a space taxi to be floaty. I was not expecting to be saddled with the weight also and it did make it a lot harder. The only issue I found is it's very easy to flip the taxi and you don't really have a way to recover it."},{"author_name":"Jaenis","author_uid":"36966","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 7:54am","epoch":1418024940,"text":"Yeah, the flipping is a nasty issue.
