Which was my point exactly, I've seen some 1.40 era planes drawing lines in the sky in difficult conditions that I'd kill for with my 1.70 powered Oxai Aries.

You tend to pay for the extra maneuverabilty by trading off a bit of stability, and when the conditions get rough it starts to show up, something a top pilot would be able to compensate for but is just too much extra workload for a novice. Older models weren't a full 2M with skinny fuses for no reason.

Design schedules which force the planes to slow down further, require more agility and capable of 4+ lateral G and the resultant airframes will be a real handfull for a novice pilot trying to fly straight lines in anything but the best of weather.
