The Uber Yak 3
« on: March 27, 2007, 02:11:13 PM »
The good

Will roll with a 190
Will turn with the best (18.5sec for 360d)
Will climb faster than an La7
Will out accelerate an La7 from standing.
Will have a clear front view (no armoured glass frame) for those lead shots
Will have a clear rear view  for checking 6.

The bad

Wings may delaminate at combined high G and high V.
Its top speed only 380 @ Sea level.
Only 1 x 20 cannon and 2 x 12.7mm mg
 
The Ugly

Has to be skinned in the colours of 303IAD "Normandie Niemen"


A furballers wet dream.

20 and a pair of 12s.  They made a version with three 20s (that was LIGHTER).

If you can miss with one 20 you can miss with three.

There was no Yak9M rumour. Pyro said that he'd rather do the 9M than 9D because of the similarity it has to the current Yak-9T model (cockpit location). He never said when it would be here.

I just don't understand how that was possible IRL considering the high wingloading. It has a mean powerloading for sure, but still. I have to do some calculations on it sometime.

Even though Oleg Maddox claimed that the figure is for sustained turn rate I still have my doubts that it is one 360 which was started from higher speed (~450km/h) for example.

Do you have any primary sources on this? Or was it in that Yak-3 pilots manual which can be found online?

That Yak-3 pilot's manual that can be found on-line doesn't have any useful performance information in it.  Lots of set points, though.  I'm translating the cockpit drawing now (not RIGHT now, but now as in during this epoch in history)
