A newbies impression of the 109 and spit

Thanks, winny. That is now pretty clear to me. Wouldn't have made sense to put weights to the tail in order to improve stability. It would just worsen it.

Yeah, it was only a small weight, 3.5 or 6.5 lb, depending on which wing was fitted, the lighter was for browning wing heavier for cannon wing, added to the actual control cables. It was about 3 quarters of the way down the fuselage.
