I'm conducting flight trials and will pursue that task, and report my findings, feed the bug thread.
And I'm relying on several specialized books available regarding the Spitfire.

The actual flight model is a nonsense.

I have to remind you that's I'm not debating anything.
The devs can do whatever goes through their mind. But I have to say how wrong this is, if it indeed is.
Note that I'm also working on the good side of that game when I can like tutorials, mission building.

I tested other parameters of Spit Mk I

- Stall speed is too low by approximately 15 mph flaps up, by 10 mph flaps down
- Take off run is longer by approximately 30%

Thought the take off run is not a so big deal, it shows that the reacceleration from medium and low speed time is longer, the performance is not as good as it shall be.

The stall speed, on the opposite, makes for better turns at low speed. It makes the gap between radius of turn of Bf 109 and spit wider than it should be.
