So what do you think an airplane equipped with an anti-spin device would require good flying to prevent a spin?

Or do you think the training wheels would work to keep the bicycle upright so it does not tip over and fall?

I am not sure what you mean with me 'trolling' - could you please describe maneuveurs you do in the Bf 109 that you find it difficult not to spin her?

I completely understand what you're saying and I know what the slats do. The plane would still spin if you make a piloting mistake though - and that's what I see most of the time online - 109 suddenly turning too tight (attacking or breaking) and spinning in. 109 climbing, realising there is a threat behind them and pulling hard a lot and too quickly - spin. Sometimes you can tell he's looking back at you and makes a mistake with the rudder. Or 109 attacking at high speed, I break hard, he tries to get guns on me with plenty of rudder = flips wing. Beautiful high speed stall, but if he's good he regains control very quickly, although that piloting error will cost him lots of E.

I fly the 109 in this sim very often and I honestly don't find it being 'unforgoving' or going into 'violent spin' without warning as some say. I wonder why is that, my guess would be FF joystick or simply the fact I am flying her smoothly. There is lots of warning - FF, buffeting acompanied with specific sound. If someone pulls the stick like it's a toilet plunger of course he will spin her.

So if you could describe maneuveurs where the 109 spins while it shouldn't that would be great. I am not 'trolling', I am simply very interested.
