Title: Turning in a P-51
Post by: Sable on August 12, 2003, 07:07:56 PM

So is there any consensus on what flap setting gives the best turn rate?

D pony:

260mph, 1 notch of flaps = best turn rate (28.6 dps, 765ft radius)

173mph, 2.87g, 1 notch of flaps = best sustained turn rate (17.9 dps, 815ft radius)

How did you get those numbers, Mako?

I'd like to figure it out in some of my favorite rides.

Those numbers were produced by "Badboy".  He did all the required testing and data processing to create some E-M diagrams for the P51.  Searching the boards should give some links to more info.  :cool:
