Thought you might enjoy this thread from the Flypast forum about the flight of a newly restored '109G4' in Germany this week.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I have yet to see a real lufftwaffe aircraft in real life let alone a 109 or fw190. I once saw a 1/4 scale replica 190 at an airshow but thats not the same thing.

:D

See here:

On the trailing edge of the right wing, from left to right: radiator flaps, landing flaps, aileron.

Normally the radiator flaps are set to adjust automatically, depending on the engine temperature. The pilot could also override the automatic radiator and set the position of the radiator flaps manually.

The landing flaps are adjusted manually. The pilot turns a wheel beside the seat to operate them. There are no specific steps in the flaps, the pilot can lower them as little or as much as he/she likes.  As the landing flaps are lowered, the radiator flaps are lowered as well.  

So basically, the 109 has "combat flaps". The pilot could apply just a bit of flaps to help in turning, if needed.

Camo got any data on what speeds they were able to deploy flaps at any amount of degree and at any given speed?  Combat flaps for one plane doesn't necessarily mean they can be deployed at the same speeds and have the same amount of affect as the other bird.

Just because you have a variable up/down flap option doesn't mean they can deploy the same or deploy at higher speeds.
