If I remember correctly there were a number of comments one that struck home was that the T45 was underpowered. The fact that the USN added a lot of weight for carrier use and then chose to derate the engine to save a small amount on life cycle costs had more than a little to do with the problem. Once the engine was restored to its full power the problem went away.
Another problem was the changes to the Hawk caused the T45 to have some problems with the effectiveness of the rudder when in an inverted spin or spiral. This was solved but the blame was with the Hawk which was a little unfair.
