Can't get to technical about this , but .. is one of the more "balanced" airplanes I have flown. (757-200). Alot has to do with how the plane is powered. The 757 has been my favorite to fly.It is a sweet flying airplane.

I am typed on the A310, F-100, MD80, 737-800, 757/767. The one funky thing about it is the yaw dampers. They have been toned down, but if you hit turbulence, and go reach for your coffee cup, you'll find your coffee everywhere besides in your cup. Some how the yaw dampers set up a "swirling" motion that will empty whatever you set in the the cup holder.
