The 109 for example had very desirable caracteristic for a fighter when flown to the edge. The slats granted very forgiving stall caracteristics that allowed the pilots confidence to fly the aircraft to its limits. The same time slats could cause the less experienced pilots to miss their target.

Clearly I don't know no one does, only Molders really knows, but I am willing to bet that he did more than circuits and bumps in them. Its equally wrong to assume that he didn't wring the aircraft out.
