Because you haven't shown any...? I believe Moelders stated that the Spitfire and Hurricane are easier
to land than the 109. He also added that they are otherwise miserable as fighter aircraft.

Does anyone have the pilots notes for the 109, I am confident that if they are to the same scope then they will have their won warnings.

Yes I have. It doesn't have any of the longitudal stability references as the Spitfire pilot's notes, however. There are a few similarities - both manuals warn the pilot against the dangers of using the ailerons too hard in dives, as there is a danger of structural failure (twisting forces).
