I've been trying to imagine this myself. But isn't it in fact the other way round? On the Hurricane, a bump of 1 foot will raise the midpoint of the wing 1 foot, and hence the fuselage less, whereas on the hypothetical S-type, a one foot bump would raise the fuselage the whole foot. So that a given size of bump is more likely to tip the opposite wing-tip into the ground on the S-type than the H-type???
???s because I find this stuff hard, and I may well have got it wrong, but hope someone will explain how I'm wrong.
Measurements in Imperial, not metric, because these aeroplanes think in Imperial.

Reason: Spent a long time working out how to put line-breaks in: it's not in the guide to BB codes.
