The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a German World War II fighter aircraft that was, along with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force. The Bf 109 first saw operational service in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II in 1945. It was one of the most advanced fighters when it first appeared, with an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. It was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine. From the end of 1941, the Bf 109 was steadily supplemented by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. It was called the Me 109 by Allied aircrew and some German aces, even though this was not the official German designation.

-Wikipedia, because the stack of pages from my Aircraft of the World book that were supposed to stay with me got packed.

“Cabbage, why is it so big?”
“Cause rexzion said my planes are too small and I tried to make this one a bit bigger and it ended up larger than a cargo plane.”

Requested by CrazyNumpty and DeltaBravoSix

Suggestions are welcome!(Except aircraft that would be made with 2-7 parts or over 500 parts.)
Next aircraft: Fw-190

No AGs

I apologize for the low speed, any higher and it will start pulling 176 G turns and the left wing tip will explode. You will need trim.
