For anyone interested, there's a thorough article of flying the Bf-109 Emil by Rob Erdos. I found it very informative and the site has plenty of interesting articles of vintage airplanes, check it out!

The story I heard is that the owner of the Emil got into a pissing contest with a neighbor. The neighbor put up a large pole (on his own property) at the end of the runway. The Emil clipped the pole.

Ah, okay, I did try various searches before posting, but didn't find anything. Let's take it as a memory refreshment then shall we?
