Thank you.

Ok, take time to very very carefully understand the point, it clearly shows how slight instability is beneficial for maneuverability....a desireable quality in a dogfighter yes? at no point have I said a fighter 'needs' to be unstable, if it is a ground pounder then stability is probably a desireable quality, if it is an interceptor then it is also probably good to be stable, but a pure air defence dogfighter would benefit greatly from being able to outmanouver an opponent.

Youre welcome.
