Yes I agree it is relative (I too have flown more than 1 moth) however it would be stretching the term a bit far carrying quite as much deflection as present within CoD. I wonder if DB or Henshaw would use those same terms after flying the CoD spitfire (which after-all is what we aiming for right, that those same highly emotive comments could come from the CoD spit as the real thing).
I am not suggesting that the principal implementation is wrong, just that the curve needs some further examination. Possibly more benign in the middle and more extreme at the end, for example... stalling the spit then shoving in full power would (I can very well imagine) torque roll like a beast.
