Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

[klem]

Oh Gawd,

this is getting more surreal by the minute.

Common sense guys, do you really believe the MoD/RAF would have put it's most cutting edge fighter into service with an engine that persistently misfires in level flight with its normal turbulence and undulations.

Push-overs, yes, that's well reported on by the people that flew them but problems in normal flight? None that I have ever read and lets be honest no-one here has ever pushed one of those Merlins into negative G, you all only have your various written references to go by and so far I don't think anyone has found a report of the time or operation of those engines that says normal flight is a problem. Lets stay away from conjecture, guesswork and revisionism.

So, feet back on the ground (no pun), the model is too sensitive in normal flight, I leave it to the devs to determine where negative G effects should have an effect but atm its just plain daft.
