Message text I don't agree.
(This is, in fact, the only rule of CE I don't like)
So far, stability is just a measure of the goodnes of an AC as a firing platform, not of his ability to roll.
Let me tell you about an experience I had with Air Force. I was flying a mixed formation (IIRC they were two P38 Lightning and two Corsair). I discoverede that one model turned quite well but couldn't roll quickly to save its life, while the other wasn't a tight turner but it could change bank on a dime.
That's to say: (low) stability is NOT the same as tight turning and NOT tight rolling.
E.g. ,the Sopwith tripe is Stab. A, but is a dancer like the Dr.1, and once I read somewhere that, aving ailerons on all three wings, it was also a good roller.
