I've lost the spit on many occasions. Aggressively reversing your turn with the nose slightly up will do it, especially if your air-speed is below 100mph. The spit will flick if you yank it past the buffet, especially when out of trim in the z-axis.
Dropping the flaps does give you a remarkable rate of turn in the spits...but then you bleed of so much speed doing it that you have to go guns at the first opportunity, and then get nose level and roll out fast to get some energy back. If anyone can do a full level max-rate turn with the flaps down and maintain anything more than about 120mph indicated, I would like to know.
As soon as the 109 realizes you are slow, he should climb. The dead 109s are the ones that stay in the same vertical plane.
