FM and real flight

if we're talking about mph I can tell you it's a bit on the fast side, but mind you, AFAIK on a fully loaded Spit the speed should be just under 90mph, so it's not much of a difference there.

I find CoD Supermarine Spitfire being a little bit heavy and too much stable in my opinion at about 90 to 110 mph approach and touch, more heavy than it seems to be in some videos of the real one

Was just trying to see what happen if i asked directly, and not as a 'comment', like you put it.

well I never flown with a Spitfire Mk.I or II unfortunately. I could try and ask in the circuit and see what the RAF folks say, but I doubt the answer will be much different.

a quick browse of the interweb came with this:

which confirms my fallacious memory..
