Avia s-199
Built by the Czechs. Combination of ME109 with a Jumo 211 replacing the Daimler Benz DB605 when they ran out.
Flown by the czechs and later the Israelis

Bonus point, Called the mule by Czech pilots because of it poor handling.

It looks like a propeller with an airplane tacked on. In line engine. What appears from this angle to be elliptical wings and a cabin that looks like a Focke Wolf something or other.

That was some quick id by dswancutt. Seven minutes.

I find it odd that the Jumo engine should make what was basically a Me-109G handle so badly. I notice that the Jumo is listed as being a bit lighter, so maybe the C of G change was more than the aerodynamics of the design could cope with.

I'm pulling this from memory, but since the Jumo 211 was basically a bomber engine, it delivered it power and torque differently, or something to that nature. The s-199 tended to be really sluggish on the controls, hence the the name mule.

Well, I didn't know who made it or flew it, but I knew what it basically came from as far as the plane and the engine. That prop just doesn't look right on the 109.

I had no clue...

To be honest, I knew what and who flew it was right away but had to do a google search to get the name right.
