What is "aircraft stability" - IN VIDEO

[Crumpp]

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.

I don't need to prove anything,

Of course not, you just make unfounded accusations and then scurry to the dark corners when asked to prove it.

Actually can you try and not bring family insults into this? my father passed away in 2007 and the circumstances of which are still a fairly painfull memory, I don't seek to bring any of your family into our personal differences here.

But thanks for confirming the hipocrisy of your own scurrying away into dark corners when asked to prove something, you are incapable of providing any evidence of a pilots licence and just resort to the insults.

Honestly, Don't dish it if you can't take it.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad.

WTF are you talking about? I can take you making stupid personal insults any day of the week, I'm very comfortable with the reality of our situations, what I don't appreciate are insults to my family.

Mode C stopped reporting yesterday. What do you think of the trans-cal over the Ack?

Do you have any experience?

shouldn't you ask an avionics engineer? do you need mode C desparately? whats wrong with mode A? are you regularily flying in controlled airspace? it's not mandatory to have mode C outside of controlled airspace here.

Here you go. I'm not really expecting to see any evidence, in particular now where this topic has clearly gone down the drain.
