Leading Edge Slats on the Me-109

[Crumpp]

Crumpp to cut-n-paste quotes from a website with the title 109 myths as PROOF that uneven slat activation could NOT cause spins..

Why don't you get some experience in an automatic slat equipped aircraft and come back to tell us how it works.

You don't seem to count my experience so share yours!!

Bf 109 into a stall and spin when the slats deployed on one wing and not the other

Airframes break apart in flight, Flaps break, engines breakdown, spark plugs foul, fabric balloons, and slats malfunction...




All things mechanical can fail especially if not properly maintained or abused.

What does that have to do with me or the physics of how slats operate?

Not sure Crumpp..

But it sounds like your saying you know better than Oberleutnant Erwin Leykauf wrt how slats worked on a Bf109 in flight..

If so,

well..

I guess you can 'feel' that way..

Just know that I an others are probally going to stick with Oberleutnant Erwin Leykauf experance on this mater over yours

Why? When I have something better, as in an actual WWII Bf109 quote, i.e.

Don't take it personally!

I just think the experience of an actual WWII Bf109 pilot trumps Crumpp's modern civilian aircraft pilot experience when talking about how a Bf109 acts..

Guess I am just silly like that!
