Interesting how the Bf 109E-3 loading chart http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.o...ladeplanes.jpg shows the weights as 2,608 kg (5,749 lbs) fully loaded for combat while, without ammunition for training flights, the weight is 2,532kg (5,582 lbs)...

I got the weights from several flight test but did not have a ladeplan. The weight I used leaves out the pilot.

I fixed it and it narrows the gap but does not eliminate it.

The RAE chart shows a Spitfire sustained turn advantage across the entire speed range

The RAE chart uses CLmax neither airplane can attain in clean configuration by any calculation or measurement, including the RAE's. Read the report you claim I have not!

In fact, the CLmax comes very close to matching full flaps for both aircraft.
