There is a reason why I am not a commercial artist, LOL.
Here is picture of my hanger, these are my planes....sole ownership....
Means you are alone on the bills too!
Both are fully aerobatic but the Thorp is not a good platform for it. It is too slick and you really have to pay attention to your speeds when you point the nose down.
The Thorp is a good cheap, fast, and fun to fly cross country machine. It has a Lycoming O-360 with a Hartzell CSP. It is IFR, four place, and a traveling machine.
The Extra 300 is my sky cutter. It has a Lycoming IO-540 with an MT propeller.
Back to the thread....
Looking at all the data and trying to pick averages staying away from either extreme using both Supermarines and Mtt data......
This is the relative turn performance of these two aircraft taking as much data from the Operating Notes and Flugzeug Handbuch.
Here is a Rate of Turn comparison. Rate of turn is the most important aspect of turn performance as it represents how fast the aircraft can swing its guns thru the compass to bear on a target.
Hope it helps!
