Title: Techniques for Unloading Fighter in a Dive
Post by: H. Godwineson on May 15, 2002, 08:15:25 AM

Could anyone provide pointers for the proper techniques for unloading a fighter to maximize energy and speed in a dive?

I hit shift-x to set trim and dive angle and relax hand pressure on stick.  Is the the proper way to unload or is there a better way?

Regards, Shuckins

Unloading refers to getting to a less than 1 G condition.  If you just set a dive angle, you are diving with a 1 G load on your plane.  To unload, give slight forward stick until your G-meter reads 0.  You will find this gives you better accelleration.

Unloading involves putting the aircraft into a ZERO G dive.  Thus you need to push forward on the stick a little to get zero g on the g meter.
