Re: Flight characteristics of Savoia Marchetti SM.79
I have read many documents and statements about the SM.79 in Royal Yugoslav Air Force and I never found even a hint that it was unstable for flying. Main problems were design flaws with the fuel lines and carburetors and these lead to some fatal accidents, but nothing on instability. It was complex for take-off and landing as even the upper turret gunner had his share of manual operations in it, but otherwise pilots were fond of it.
