Full wing. Not long and pointy, not short and clipped. Standard, full wing. And no Gryffon. That things just a tad bit too large for my tastes.

However when I flew them, I liked the spit 9 or the seafire that I fly from time to time off a CV. Other than that IMO Spits are too easy to fly.

Watching a TV program an old spit pilot Bob ? (forgot Sir name) said of the Spitfire "any idiot could fly one". He then went onto explain that Jerry needed more training hours where as our lads didn't.

Listening to BBC radio4 (woman's hour:rolleyes: ) one morning they had an old dear on....amazing storey she told. She used to fly planes from the factories to the airfields where needed. Now this old dear flew just about everything made in Britain. Single, twin and four engined aircraft. At the end of her interview the presenter asked "The" question...."what did you like flying the most". With a joyful tone in her middle class English accent she replied "the Spitfire my dear it was part of you".

These statements go to show how much of a truly balanced fighter the Spitfire was.

As Furball, I can't understand all this anti Spit bias.... Boring???? How can a plane be boring, just because it's so well designed that anyone can fly it? Must a plane be a barely maneuverable brick to be exciting?

The Spitfire is a great plane that relieve you from the worries of flying it and let you concentrate fully on what you're doing, and that's great to learn to fight, to hone your SA and your gunnery.

If you need excitement, take a Spit and dive in the middle of a red crowd, then you'll tell me if it's boring, or if you'll be grateful to it because it's so easy to fly that can really help you in staying alive!

Yes gian

P47's are much better than spits.
everyone knows this.
Honestly spits are the last plane i will ever fly in this game "BLAH!"

"Reminder" Do you guys have the engine sound,that is of a house fly?
I put that on every british & japanese plane.

When getting near a furrball it was like standing next to a old corps "flys buzzing about .ect"

Yes to what? It seems you don't agree with a single word of what I said!
