Is it your favorite aircraft or something? I've stated nothing but facts and you're calling me biased.

it is 'spit bashing' if that characteristic is being used as an example of a stability problem, I don't mind if you don't wish to engage with me, please don't be under the impression I need it.

I never said it was a problem. I just said the spitfire is not statically stable.

understanding of physics has however, stability is an inherrent capability of an aircraft, you must realise that a Cof G shift can cause a change in stability.

CG shift has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
