I have no problem with people choosing the Spitfire as their plane of choice.... Their 15 bucks.... Do what thou whilst.... 
However, in retrospect, what I do have a problem with is the guy who can't "get the job done" with any other ride, yet still thinks the
world of himself....
I'm a 38 driver by choice.... However, on that rare occasion when I decide to up a Spit (either a I, V, IX, VIII or XIV...NEVER a XVI), I find it rather simple and, to be honest, easy in most cases...Especially with a little alt...
Now, please, no one be offended by this as it's just my opinion that I'm sure many share with me.. I think the majority of you guys who fly the XVI exclusively really feel the need to be "good" or seen as "good"... But, let's face it... The Spixteen is a VERY forgiving aircraft and doesn't require much of anything to be good in.... How about trying to fly something that's actually challenging instead of the uber-trainer XVI...
Again, just my two schillings.... 
each aircraft takes its own set of skills to fly well.
i die in the 38 a lot. hopefully, with help, that'll be less this tour.
