I think the normal armor of the G6 will be nice to have. Will make the G6 and G14 differ even more.

Question, was the armor glass the same shape and size as the normal armor?

If yes, it doesn't matter much which one we're gettin view wise thanks to the friendly view settings in AH.

Wil the G14 will be different because of the erla haube.

What I would want is to differentiate the G6 views from the G2 views, the clear armor would do that.

My understanding is the G-10 is basicly going to be renamed and have the 20mm cannon option taken off...But I might be wrong ;)

Yeah I know that Grunherz. But what I wanted to know was the difference between armored glass and normal armor, wether they have the same design look or are differnt. (glass armor is much lower while the normal armor goes up over the head in a bend).

But looking at the G2 now I guess that is how the G6 will look.

TW9, the G10 we have in AH now is a K4 but with a 20mm hub cannon option. The performance should be the same. The difference should only be that it will only have a 30mm hub mounted cannon, the 20mm will no longer be an option. Gondolas should still be an option.

The G14 will be a difference between the G10 and G6. Think it has got a top speed of something like 416mph at around 20k and it should be faster then the G6 down low thanks to MW50 injection.

Add to this that it will weight less then our current G10 and the "new" K4 it should be more nimble, almost like a G6 but faster then a G6.

Gonna be very interesting to fly although I expect to stay in G10 (K4). The G14 will also have the Erla haube (same kind of canopy as the current G6 and G10) and glass armor to the rear (same as we have in G6 and G10 now).

I'm sure someone will step in with some more performance and weight specs of the G14.

Wilbus,


Yes the G-2 will look similar to the G-6 with armored head rest.

If you are in the the G-2 and look back and see the armor, just replace that with armored glass.

Here's a framed canopy with armored glass.





Check this page

Scroll about half way down you will see a Erla haube. I would link the image but it gives an error (%20 at the end on the tag).

I know what the Erla Haube looks like thanks :)

What I was interested in was what the armored glass armor looked like, which you showed me very well with those pictures, thanks!

The point wasn't so much the canopy but to show another image of the armored glass.

The G6 basically had a heavier motor and could fly higher…not more speed, but that’s it…it starts getting heavier every time they put something new in.---Franz Stigler
