Also, if you pull e.g. 3 Gs with SM-79 and 3 with Spit, yes, your turn rate at the same speed is pretty much the same. Can SM-79 handle even that much after 4.10 for longer periods, is another question. |
so much wrong here ..
You start a turn with rudder at the same time banking with ailerons, as well as applying elevator
just pulling on the stick, thus moving the elevators doesn't result in a turn at all !!! .. it results in a change of pitch .. in a diving turn from level you might even push on the stick a bit to properly make the turn
it's the correct application of yaw (rudder), roll (ailerons) and pitch (elevators) at a particular speed that result in the best turn rate
G-force equality does not co-relate directly to turn rate / radius at all between different aircraft !
