I got the unique chance to check out a Bf 109 cockpit and sit inside. Many a story is told about this aircraft's cockpit, with it having a reputation of being on the more....claustrophobic side. Will I fit and what are my general impressions? Some of this may, as they say in a clickbait fashion, "surprise you".

Thank you for supporting these filming trips!

Would air resistance on the control surfaces possibly limit the movement of the stick? Was there even a physical stop on how far the stick could be moved left to right? In a "real" aircraft of the time I would think there would be a finite limit to how far over the stick could be moved because the cable to the opposite control surface would provide a limit. Sorry for the rambling.

Am now thinking about the history of the placement of aircraft instrumentation...
