do you realize the lenght of the stick is what determines run or sensitivity?

You've posted an image of an F-16-stick. Which moves about 1/4th of an inch all in all. That movement is
NOT, in ANY way, what defines the amount of controlsurface-deflection on the Viper, as it's flight-contro-system is set up so that it's how much
FORCE you use that is used to measure the deflection-angle.
Comparing that to a Spitfire, which you have done here, is idiotic, even for you.
You can add the fact that most modern-day fighterjets use a Fly-by-wire system, i.e. there's no moving, mechanical linkage between the stick and the control-surfaces like you have on for example a Spitfire. It doesn't compare at all, in any way.
