Bud Anderson wrote about constant trimming during battle as something you just automatically do as a war pilot.
What happened to the IL-2 P-51 was that a small group of 'Stang' fanboys gathered up historic documents to push hard for lighter stick forces and that's what they, errrr, we got, an easier to teeter teeter-totter.
The P-51 was singled out and the change forced by fanboys. I wonder if anyone from that group is still around?
