A newbies impression of the 109 and spit

I don't understand your point, Kur.

Yes, the Spit may have had a sensitive elevator. Yes, in case it went into a spin it may have done so in a violent manner.

But again, there is abundant indications by pilots that flew the spit that the airframe provided pilots with sufficient warning before this dangerous behaviour occured. This is, as I explained above, due to the fact that the spit had cranked wings with the inner sections of the wing stalling before the outer sections. The resulting buffeting provided a warning to the pilot.

Stalling on the inner section is in no way dangerous as long as it is approximately symmetrical. I've seen with my own eyes during an experimental flight on a piper that also had cranked wings that basically this plane needs only 1/3 of its wing unstalled to provide sufficient lift. It will have been similar for the spit.

Now what you do is to confuse inexperienced pilots with seasoned ones. Inexperienced pilots of course will have the natural reflex to avoid any situation that puts them at discomfort as they still lack the confidence that comes with routine. They were absorbed by too many things to do at the same time that they had simply no mental resources to make the intelectual reflexion about buffeting as a safety warning even though they might have been told so in theory. They heard that being taught to them but only retained that buffeting means that stall is imminent and therefore has to be avoided. BTW on the German side inexperienced pilots also usually avoided to fly in that way that opened the slats. My guess is for the same reason as their British counterparts. Just try to put yourself in their shoes or remember you after having won your driving license. My guess is that anybody who loves his life will be prudent when trying to familiarize with a new way of motion (driving, flying) or a new type. The procedure most will adopt is to slowly increase the envelop of one's action with growing confidence. Well, that's how I feel when I have a new car with which I am not familiar with. It takes me a while to become more bold with it. I am surely not starting to race like Schumacher on the German Autobahn with a newly bought car.
