I once learned every move that there was,
Every style, Every technique.
Then I woke up, and forgot it all,
So now I struggle to dream.

The differences between Flying Poi and regular Poi are:
1) Weight. Flyingpoi are very light so you won't get tired of spinning or even arm strain.
2) Speed. Flyingpoi are much faster in terms of RPM's.
3) They're planes. The planes can actually glide off to another direction, sort of float if you want them to.
So, you can do different things with the Hyperplanes, different maneuvers or tricks. They are esencially poi, but on steriods.

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.

Hi Durbs, I think there is some confusion about what is meant by regular poi. The type i was referring to is the one i see most often: a ball, usually a tennis ball with a tail streamer attached, cord, handles etc. This is a non-fire poi. I think beginners and intermediates spinner may use this one most.
The other type is the fire poi or practice fire poi. That is a heavier type with a small narrow weight at the end, maybe some black rubber around the end, chain, handles etc.
Would you agree that there are some tricks that can not be done with first type? Well the same goes for the FlyingPoi.
The tricks you mentioned can be done to a certain degree, but since they are planes they can easily get tangled up or crash. With the narrow poi you can spin closer together. An example is, twirling two poi in one hand going the opposite directions, Flyingpoi can do this, but if you try to flip them over you head too quickly they will get tangled up. This is an advanced trick. But most other tricks are certainly doable.
So, there are some tricks that CAN NOT be done Flyingpoi in comparison to the 2nd type mentioned. Are there trick (or moves) that can only be done with FlyingPoi? I would say yes. FlyingPoi are just different, they have a different visual effect and feel to them. For example you can spin one plane over head around in a circle and the plane would be flying! While regular poi would require more power to keep it in mid air. A regular poi is just dead weight in the air. Hyperplanes have different way to be controled.

The handles have some weight so you can throw the whole Hyperplane in the air and it will keep turning, and then catch it again.

I think Hyperplanes are especially more fun for beginners. The light weight foam makes them safe for kids. They also can fit in you pocket, so travelers like them.

Ok. I do a lot of Poppin'. It's obvious to me that we have different meanings to 'on a dime'. When I stop on a dime, I stop dead. there's no evidence of coming to a halt, no dissipation of force, I just stop. therefore, to turn on a dime, is to turn without there being anything to influence the turn. (Sorry, yes I can be a geek)
