S!

Well, for you guys complaining of the trim. Have you ever cared to look at the TRIM GAUGE in the Spitfire cockpit? I flew the Sissyfire and trimmed for fast cruise, the needle was less than half the range of the gauge and with less speed close to 0 position. And when had the trim at around 30% of the gauge reading the elevator was at roughly same position as in the photo above. I use trim on a slider, not tapping a key. Compare to FW190 that has the trim gauge too just aft of the throttle marked with an "alpha" sign. In Sissyfire the gauge is below the gear lamp indicator on left side.
