ACE the Spitfire was unstable....it just wasn't a problem, it was easy to fly

the question should really be how did rookie pilots with barely any experience on type (lets face it even the experienced Spitfire pilots didn't have much time on type at the time of BoB) manage to fly it if it was so 'dangerous' to handle?
