The spitfire was very light on the controls, especially the elevator.
Also the tail was very light when taxiing and during takeoff.

You can read it here.

I like this sentence from the vintagewings article:

And, like all fighters of this era, you need your two feet as well as your hands to fly or she will skid and slip all over the sky.

I can vouch for Oleg getting that right then. I think I must have tipped a Spit onto its nose so many times that in real life I'd have been demoted to potato-peeling duties long ago. Of course, in real life you could get an erk or two to sit on the tail while you taxied - I wonder if CoD will model this...
