Wonder if they are easier to control in VSTOL than the Harrier.

From what I have read, the difference is day and night. The F-35B is as stable as the Harrier is unstable.

They greatly are easier. If you ever saw the documentary for the f-35 competition it is so much easier. Guy took his hands off the controls and it stayed stable hovering. Can’t do that with a Harrier and live.
