Yeah, not really. The models are tuned until it feels like the actual aircraft which is good, however it wasn't until just two years ago [0] that Austin Mayer re-discovered some of the most basic models used for aircraft performance (fixed- and rotary-wing).
He's got a good instinctive way of thinking about it that's for sure, but he seems to have skipped some introductory material during his degree.
