I am sure there are some generalisations in this method and I am certainly no mathematician, but its a start. Again I stress its only point source data.
This was the method I used.
Ps = Rate of Climb in units per sec.
g= Acceleration due to gravity (32.2fps or 9.8msec)
V= TAS in fps or mps
1g Accel = (Ps x g )/V
So take an aeroplane with an instantaneous Climb rate of say 20msec at 300Kmh (83.1mps)
1gAccel = (20 x 9.8 ) / 83.1
1gAccel =2.358msec or 8.5Kmh/sec (again its point source data)

sorry to bother you
Did you test the 190A-4 and hold the results up against manifatures data?? ( i know the data normaly are in the "happy" end, but it gives an idea if its worth digging more into this subject
