Excellent post Xjazz,

People can answer there own questions with a little effort with this. Like turn radius and rate.

I will do a little chart for fun to show how some birds turn or at least should turn.

You need to know the 1G stall speed of an A/C (that just means the level stall speed). This is CAS stall speed BTW.

The weight of the A/C when it stalls.

And the wing area of the A/C.

The program does the rest.
