It's 14 Mb and should open in your browser, you can then save it if you wish.

I hope an RAE evaluation is admissable, don't forget the British had no concept of stability and control

Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

That is the name of the thread.

Seems once again you didn't read it. Why you guys don't open a new one ?

Since they state that a captured 109 is inferior to the Hurricane as fighter, then I wonder what are the mandatory characteristics of an airplane they want to call it "fighter".

No problem... British still drive on the left side of the road.. it's a matter of preference.

But they didn't really say that did they, they just say the 109 is less manouverable.....a reasonable handicap as a dogfighter.

we drive on the left for a historic reason not really preference or because we have 2 heads and 6 fingers on each hand

And so do the Japanese. My car is a grey import from Japan. Great car too.

You guys should put the 109 stuff in a separate thread.
