    Hi Tiger,

    That's right, so why are you using just 9 G's. If you have to get out of a tricky situation then it's there for the taking. I've found the limits in F4 for best turn radius.

    below 5000 ft: 370-380 Knt's
    15000 ft (the measured turn altitude):
    477 Knt's
    above 20000 ft: 480-490 Knts

    This is what I have learned without loosing to much speed Tiger. Your figures may be different.
