Hi Rapier
You don't have to pull 9Gs to achieve the best turn rate. It should be remembered that the SU27, that I am very familiar with, can achieve the best turn rate 22' per second at a speed between 650-700 pulling just 6 Gs. So if you can in F4 to pull 7Gs for 19' per second at a constant speed why don't you do that?

[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.
