Sorry I only recall you don't play with Jimmy because Jimmy plays with George and you don't play with George in the first place.

I don't mind what you're doing on atag, why exactly are you telling us this?

It should have held that AOA until it ran out of speed (I was using the rudder to keep wings level), or possibly nosed up further, depending on if you choose to believe it had neutral or negative stability.

This is an issue indeed but as I was trying to point ou in my previous post, rather small one compared the other issues with general FM and actual aircraft FMs. I hope all of them will be addressed at some point.

Yes indeed, you have obviously very little experience with RAF aicraft in the sim, judging from what you say about them, e.g. Spitfire and Hurricane feeling the same except for the speed.
