Originally posted by Viking While I don't want to put down the C205 all 109 F,G and K are faster (F is just as fast under 20k), turns better both with and without flaps (even the K), climbs better (F only above 5k), and accelerates better.I suspect the reason you think the C205 handles better at high speed is the same reason people say the same about the 109F compared to G's and the K: You can dive steeper in a slow plane without reaching critically high speeds. I "feel" the K compresses much faster than the G-2, but in reality they are almost identical. The K simply gets up to speed much quicker. And the C205 is no faster than a 109F.
Originally posted by Angus I am serious, - the 205 surprized me a long time ago with it's quality at insane speeds. Hehe, this thread encouraged me to fly it yesterday in AHII, now I just need some 109 stick to come over to the DA/TA for some high speed tests.But shees a tad slower. Howe many HP? DB601 right?
Originally posted by Krusty Gatt: Hiya! Are you back? Or just passing through? Masher: I totally disagree. The fuel tanks in the C2 are very small. Burning the fuel off in those first, would be about the same as firing off 150 rounds of cannon. You don't save much. Besides that, I've never had any problems with roll rate unless I'm over 450mph and start to lock up.
