It is funny that Morgan and Shacklady quote several pilots who disliked the Spitfire's elevator after the longitudinal instability was fixed by the addition of bob-weights.
They felt it ruined the feel and made the elevator sluggish.
I laughed when I read it.
I bet it did make it feel sluggish if you are used too 3/4 inch stick travel for the available Angle of Attack at 5 lbs per G in neutral or just statically stable!!
