G6 vs G14 weight/turn differences?
« on: May 13, 2010, 03:00:54 PM »
 :headscratch: Aside from the larger wheelwells on the wings of the G14, are there any physical changes from the g6 to affect turn performance? Oddly, our climbrate and speed charts show the exact same weight for both
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

I was always under the impression that the g14 weighs more and has a slightly worse turn rate, you can see it on the turn rate graphs..I prefere the g14 as it has more umph when fighting in the vertical

Yes, but it has only radius, so I posted this one for turn rates as well.  :)

IMO if you put a tator on the G14 its a waste cause a K4 seems better to me.

You get 25% more perk points for kills in a G14 instead of a K4 ;)

The K4 also may be faster, but the G14 has a tighter turn radius and even slightly more power in the vertical around 5k.. in some way it is a slightly better knife-fighter at low altitudes.

The G-14 WEP is all of a K-4 on MIL power, plus it is more stable.  In most cases it is 6 one way and 6.1 another.   :aok

Hmm so you guys are saying the G-14 with 20mm would be better turner/vert fighter than a K4?

I dont think the G14 is stable at all compared to the K4, I just like the extra perks.

all of the 109s are very close to similar except the E model. it just depends on the person flying it and the situation you are in that these very small differences will come in handy

I'm with Junky on this one, when it gets slow, the G14 feels sort of loose and squirrely to me, where the K4 is still pretty stable and handle-able.  I snap stall and spin the G14 much more often.
