The structural limit before permanent deformation on these fighters was typically a factor of two, so way beyond the assumed loads: 14 Gs on the Me-109G and 13 Gs on the P-51, so there is plenty of room for the structure to bend more than the assumed 6 or 7 Gs of assumed actual wing bending load.

No way you could pull anywhere near 14 Gs without wings coming off!

Your comment that weight cannot be added to just because an object is in flight seems on its face nonsensical: If I press down, say through leverage, with a fifty pound force on an 80 lbs block, flying or not, it will then become (for all practical purposes) 30 lbs "heavier" than the "heavier" 100 pound block, flying or not... I cannot fanthom what you fail to get in this...

Weight or mass of object doesn't change in normal circumstances... only the fuel consumption changes it. When speed approaches the speed of light, only then mass goes infinite. Wasn't it Einstein who said something like that?

This compiling is very rewarding for me, as the accounts do clearly demonstrate the superiority, in low-speed turns at any altitudes, of both the P-47D and the FW-190A to the Me-109G

Too bad it doesn't actually prove anything, e.g. that Me-109G would really turn worse than a P-47D. In such fight, the 47 loses... most notably because it's heavier.
