Nobody's saying it wasn't a good aircraft.
Seeing people describe this thread as a "character assassination" has been amusing.

Appart from ACE there, can you quote 'anybody' that said the Spit was not unstable?
No I didn't think so, in fact nobody is denying it, the instability is 'not' the apparent problem that Crumpp is trying to emphasise, the Mustang was longitudinaly unstable, heres an example where you needed to take your own advice and pay attention to what people write.
