Yes a cessna will stabilise quick, you missed my point, we are talking about the Spitfire here, the oscilations that your graphs show are really not vicious, while the cessna is in the process of stabilising I have seen speed fliuctuations of a similar magnitude, of course they are decreasing but a 40mph change in 10 seconds is miniscule, a half dead monkey with no flying training could catch it even if the amplitude was increasing.
