Hi Rapier
The risks by taking more than 9.5 Gs in an aircraft are more than the risks of avoiding a missile by actual parameters.
You need to have good energy. At high Gs you waste a lot of energy.

[Hi Tiger,

I understand what your saying about a bad situation and it's true you can lose too much speed, but dont you think it's up to the pilot to take as much G as possible if it means life or death in a dogfight. I have to agree that a pilot should not take more than 9.5 but in certain cases do he has to take a little more to gain an advantage. Although 9.5 is a hell of alot. We are talking the weight of a small mini. Incredible!
