Warning on pilot's notes are not a fabrication.
They are simply warnings, not an indication of a particular dangerous characteristic....you know like 'always wear safety glasses'

According the numbers posted by Glider (even if they're from an limited investigation on only 121 accidents... a small sample of course) the 38% of those planes were lost for a overstressed airframe issue.
So 38% of 121 investigations is proof?, it just means that from an already tiny amount less than half were attributable to airframe failure.

Is it an OP's fabrication?
What the OP is fabricating is a larger problem, nobody claims 'no' Spitfires ever 'broke up', if you really wanted to you could 'break' any aircraft through overstress and the Spitfire was not notorious for it, just because it had sensitive elevators that 'could' do it it doesn't mean that it was a regular occurrence, the OP almost seems to be insisting that these problems should become apparent during normal operating ranges of speed and manouvers......I wonder why

Really?

- 109's fans want to talk about Spitfire to avoid attention on their plane
- Spitifire's fans want to talk about 109 to avoid attention on their plane
Yep....why didn't we get a 109 thread first?

Quote:
Great logic IMO.
Can you suggest a plane to talk about to avoid attention on the P51 (my favourite plane with the 190)?
if they had anything to do with the BoB scenario in Cliffs of Dover.

Quote:
Why can't we admit that those were high performance fighters and everyone of these had some issues? We should just take note of that to have a realistic sim and then we can start to analyze another plane.
When did anybody deny it?....sooo in order to have a realistic sim we must first make the Spit useless? then we can make the rest accurate?

Let's do it in a mature way... in this thread there are to many childish reactions (where the worst is blamimg other guys to be anti-British) and it's clear that all is created by the same few posters who keep fighting in every WW2 message board of the web.
I'd like you to delete the bit in bold, or I will have to complain as I find it offensive.
