I don't really see how the pilot was wrong. It was well known that you could kick the rudder on the 109 and get a hell of a lot of yaw out of it, despite the smallish rudder. Although I do agree that he's wrong with the "take on 5-6 mustangs". I can't think of a fighter mismatch in WWII that would go that way without taking something from 1939 and putting it up against something from 45.

I say a G10, G14/AS, G6/AS can take on any P-51 with a pilot that knows how to fly it well.

I don't think he's wrong (apart for a couple of minor things),he just doesn't talk about a plane that we can relate to. Guys,don't forget that most pilots are not engineers as well,so they dont get a complete understanding of why a plane flies in a certain way.
