Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[41Sqn_Banks]

Again I don't get the discussion. All source state that spin recovery is pretty standard for Spitfire. The only "problem" is the light elevator/relative instability, which makes precise control more difficult than in other aircraft, but this is only a issue if the pilot is not used to the aircraft.
It's like driving a car with a sensitive clutch. You must be careful on the first day, but after a week it won't make a difference and you make use of the benefits.
