Naca & RAE curves describe instrumented flights were the test pilot had to follow a predetermined trajectory. Nothing like what most of the fighter pilot will try to do.
Still it is interesting that it give us an indication that the ctrls were not the one we have in the sim where the Spitfire act like an F18.
Attention to details and imperfections are what makes a great sim.

I hve always said that I do believe that the 109 was more difficult to master than the Spit. It's an evidence for me.
What you told us about your experience in gliders is interesting. Thank you for the feed-back.

I was talking of the travel range in roll that shld be more or less the same as the one in pitch -ie control harmonization - sry for my bad English
It would be interesting (and relatively easy) to hve it implemented in the Spit model.
