I don't aim the claim at you per se, but the general feeling on these topics are mainly led by bias, my favourite aircraft.....late mark perhaps....but not a fan of early spits, couldn't say a particular favourite but I am a secret lover of the cessna 150/152 believe it or not..bloody fantastic little aircraft.

No, but it was a response to your claim stability is not a capability of an aircraft, if it can be changed then it is a variable, which if used to advantage is a capability, now try denying that some aircraft can shift C of G to their benefit.
