I dunno, nothing in that document really suggests a SERIOUS issue with the FM. I think most of these 'unrealistic stalls' are happening in combat when the 109 is attempting to turn and shoot at the enemy.

How slow are you when these stalls occur? Are you still trying to pull up, losing even more speed? Is the enemy aircraft doing something that you aren't which leads you to believe you're under different circumstances?

The Hurricane with a bit of flaps can fly and turn quite slowly. Those are the only times I've had a 109 stall into a spin behind me. This is at nearly 80mph. I don't think the slats are going to save you at 80mph in a turn.

I could be wrong. Maybe some tests with fraps recordings are in order.
