Looking for Ki-84 Corner Speed
« on: October 31, 2008, 02:52:44 PM »
Looking for Ki-84 Corner Speed.  Can't find it, although I'm certain I've read it somewhere at some point.  Anyone know it?  Or maybe know a site that has it.  Went to Dokgonzo's site, not sure if the corner speed can be gleaned from his charts or not.

Somebody in the know, please fill me in.

Thanks

Here's an EM chart Badboy put together awhile back.  I don't know what version of the AH FM he did it for.  The diagram says 2005 but it's probably still representative.



He posted it in this thread:

Keep in mind that weight has a big impact on turn performance and corner velocity varies with weight.

You can also do some simple flight tests and input data into Badboy's bootstrap calculator spreadsheet to get corner velocity as well.  Here's the thread for Badboy's spreadsheet:
