and I said stick force per G is a control characteristic affected by stability

So are you saying now that the Spitfire didn't have oversensitive elevators due to longitudinal instability?

There are numerous designs that have both very light control forces and good stability

Yes by means of things like servo tabs, stabilators with anti balance tabs, PFC's etc etc......none of which applied to Spits or 109's....nope just good old fashioned hinged control surfaces with nothing but the stability of the aircraft to determine their effectiveness....oh and of course there was the famous 'bob weight'.......strange.....why would increasing control forces make an aircraft more 'stable'? it's almost like theres a relationship between them

It is false that stability and control forces are proportional such that you must have instability to have light control forces

if an aircraft is unstable it takes less effort to make it react through control inputs, if it is stable it takes more effort to make it react through control inputs......how is this not getting through?......less effort = light controls, more effort = heavy controls.....is it making any sense yet?

Please point out in anything remotely close to your claim of:

I already did but what the hell...here it is again
