Did anybody ever figure out what that Bf 109 was that had a pipe running from the bottom of the nose to the tale?

That's a Bf 109 dummy, a Bf 109T and a Me 209-II.
The Bf 109T / Me 155 is an interesting example.

What I remember of the V-tail is that it gave a modest speed increase but the rudder became slightly less effective. Not worth the change...
The Bf 109X supposed to have excellent flight characteristics. IMO they should have built this instead of the Fw 190. It would have siimplified production. Though in the end the Fw 190 turned out to have more development potential.

Nice shots! BF-109X reminds me of the Zero.

Yea, it really looks like a completely different plane, only thing that looks like the 109 is the landing gear.

Wings, rear fuselage and tail section seems to be standard Bf 109 material...
Front cowling and new cockpit though.
Me-109X
A lot of people are negative towards this aircraft but if the Ki-61 could be turned into a Ki-100 then I think this puts the Bf 109X in a different light.

The "V" tail was So less effective that the V tailed Bonanza could Not recover from a spin!?
But the Straight tailed Bonanza, now there is a plane that will do it all. My flight instructor had one. The wings never flexed in a roll........... I loved flying that plane.

Found this in my Nov/Dec issue of Warbirds International. They have a big story on the Spanish built bf-109's
[actually Hispano HA.1112-MIL "Buchon"]. This is one of only two dual control trainers built. They even have one
modified to look like a P-51, used in the movie "Patton". According to the article there are 17 flying "Buchons, six
that will taxi, but not fly, and four sitting around as either static or parts spares.

The most interesting thing about the Spanish Bf 109s is that they were retrofitted with wing fences!

That certainly looks strange! Surely though there was an actually P-51 they could of used? But then again most of the tanks in Patton where done up in a similar way to that Buchon, so it isn't that surprising 
. Still not a bad movie.

Weird...Though the 109 with the wide gear and v shaped tail is the most interesting.
