That's an old "aeromodeller legend". My earlier (still flying!) 109E, all balsa, "cheated" washout in wings, is easy to fly and land, only troubles arise in taking-off from irregular fields mainly because of the narrow landing gear, maybe G model with its rounded wingtips, no washout, was more prone to abrupt stalls?

I was referring to a person who flew a real FULL SCALE ME109 from WWII; not a model.

Even a scale-outline ME109 model can fly resonably well if built light, with possibly different (non-scale) airfoils.
