It does seem that British, German and Americans trials and manuals and pilots all highlight a pronounced sensitivity and instability in pitch for the Spitfire, David.

Something I do not deny for a moment, and am more than happy to have in the sim.
In an earlier posting I did look at a number of points that had been raised and tried to find areas of agreement so the Developers would have something to work on and improve things while others were shall we say debated.

However the key point is to what degree was it a major problem. Clearly it was in the Mk V and the bob weights were installed. The fact that it was an approved mod to the Mk I in July 1941 after other approved mods including the change of engine to the Merlin 45 and addition of 20mm cannon point (to me anyway) that it became a problem after the additional weight of these and other changes.
The fact that the Spit was in service for approx 3 years before this change idicates that until this additional weight was added it wasn't a problem.
