I thought that was the fabric covered ailerons which were replaced with metal ones early on?
It is true that the real Spit was light in pitch and stiff in roll and yaw. Should a sim try to recover that behavior by limiting the roll rate, for example, at high speed; implying in effect that the pilot is weak? It just means you have to push harder on the stick, it doesn't necessairly mean you can't get the plane to roll. Shouldn't the behavior be limited to force feedback sticks?
