Yes, the 109 has a short nose but the downward vis is still a little poor. So it doesn't need to curve but the point about is being a more stable, steady approach is still valid.
Dublinpilot from my experience no 1 is what I described.
p.s. as you can tell from the pic, this last straight in bit to get everything sorted out is necessary as a taildragger with a near 60' wingspan will float quite a bit if your too fast.
