Seems simple enough to me and i know jack all about aerodynamics.

In game though, i think the real stall would bemore dangerous than the one they have now. Shooting a 109 floating down would be alot easier than shooting one goin into a spin and overshooting them! 109 pilots use the spin to advantage at the moment as a last resort to get out of gun site.

not quite, as reports show the 109 did drop a wing slightly in a gentle stall (about 10degrees) this is likely to be amplified in a high speed accelerated stall so it is possible to flip, but the spin should not be 'flat', the 109 has a good forward CoG and is likely to be quite easy to recover.
