I think it might be the torque of the bigger engines.

The G-6 and G-2 have the exact same engine.

than it must be because the G6 is heavier, and is able to control the power better.

Ummm...does this mean that the same effect could be created in the G2 simply by reducing power?

It reminds me of folks talking about the mild torque effect in a P-47 or F4U...well yeah...its because the engine has got too much airplane attached to it, and you pay for that "mildness" in climb and acceleration numbers. :devil

Reducing power sounds simple enough, but it's doesn't matter in a rolling scissor( happens most of the time your fighting someone with the same skill level as you). In a R.S. you need to throttle back coming down. If both planes are throttling back going down, than the G2 is still gunna have more torque at idle throttle thus giving the adv. to the most stable plane, in this case the G6.
