Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[6S.Manu]

Unbelievable... It's like talking to a wall... Good job on playing the 3 little monkeys.

TDN: After been called anti-british (good job!), luftwhiner (of course!) and under medication (knowing who's the one here with serious problems of comunication, and I'm not talking about a language issue, as I already witnessed in a thread about the BoB), after asking clear questions who "strangely" you don't understand (the one about "fame" is really a good one) I'm going to ignore you.

Robo: I know nobody claimed that; The statement below was to imply that, as many other planes, it had some issues. I'm sending to you a link by PM. See you after the next patch.

I know the feeling oddly enough....and from the same discussion.

If you can relieve yourself of the burden of paranoia you might also realise it was not directed at you but more at the general group that I am facing here.

and under medication (knowing who's the one here with serious problems of comunication, and I'm not talking about a language issue, as I already witnessed in a thread about the BoB)

Funny how communication problems are never interpreted as anything positive and given benefit of the doubt, but I'm very sorry if it offended you deeply.

(the one about "fame" is really a good one

You brought up paedophiles and tax dodgers.....

I'm going to ignore you.

OK

Welcome back bongo. I was afraid you had gotten the big vacation, as another did.
I am still waiting for the reason I got some demerit points (now gone).

Balance? Probably.

I love forum bans, they're like temporary martyrdom.. Except you get reincarnated a week later.. Funny.

This video has a very intersting part at 3:20, listen very carefully to what the late Mark Hanna says, I know MH434 is a Mk9, but that is no less unrelated than a Mk5, but the point is this is how people who have flown any marque speak about the Spitfire.

Yep, it's a Mk IX, and the difficulties of the early marks were reduced to non-problems by i.e. artificially increasing the stick forces with the bob-weights since the Mk V.
Later marks didn't have the extreme low stick forces (elevator) anymore.
They were still 'desirable light', though.

only the Mk5 was ever fitted with a bob weight, the Mk9 was not.
