You've made the outlandish claim that the Hurricane was a hands off aircraft
Point that out.

I said the Hurricane was stable gun platform with near perfect stability and control. That is a true statement. Sir Sydney Camm did a great job at giving England the right aircraft at the right time. One built with estabilished technology and easy to fly. He designed a workhorse that got the job done.

I have not bothered to continue any discussion's on stability and control because there is no point to it. Why have a discussion on it when the facts will just be subverted by a small vocal part of the community.

After all, your contradicting NACA's leading WW2 aerodynamics test engineer.
Good lord, guy....he makes general statements with nothing specific to the Spitfire. I never contradicted him, I contradicted members of the forum who use those generalities as specifics.

Read the documents NzTyphoon keeps posting in all the stability and control threads. They have nothing to do with the Spitfire and are not in anyway associated with any of the claims he presents. The members of the community do not understand the subject, see the picture of the Spitfire, and read what NzTyphoon writes. CLASSIC!!!!



Every airplane has it fans and it is not my job to convince fanatics there might be flaws in there favorite.
