The pilot who gave a presentation flew those (and FW-190s for a time). He said they were a bit unstable, but maneuverable as a result so he liked the plane.
The thing was the wings fell off on the early protoypes due to bad glue. And then they started putting less experienced pilots in them, with hard ice encrusted snow banks (plowed) on the sides of the runway. They had to have a cleanup truck on the side of the runway. If the plane took off successfully the aircraft passed the test for newly manufactured ones, if not, then they failed and the crash truck was sent to pick up the pieces. Or something like that.
