Learning the 109G14

[FLOTSOM]

The k4 is more stable than the g14, even if the g14 does turn tighter etc, I find the instability negates those advantages. The other thing that bothers me about the g14 is the two big balls (cowls) sitting in your face. I'll never get used to that.  

  so many twisted ways to go with that!!!!! 

the possible trouble i could get myself into is unfathomable!! 

so ill leave it as i have been laughing for the past 5 minutes with all of my possible responses!

I am by no means the best k4 or g14 pilot, but I'd be willing to share what I know and help anyone who was interested in learning.

For the 20mm fans: I've found that the G2 with small ammo loadout and gondolas to be very capable against fighters, leaving the extra 50 rounds off the nose lessens the Ill effects on turnrate and radius, with all those shells flying one can make some pretty wild shots

Has anyone helicoptered a K4 at the pinnacle of the stall due to torque? ive never done it in any other 109 variant and that torque spin has always been what kept me far away from the 109K. i literally did over 20 revolutions due to torque at the peak of the stall and actually was falling down backwards like a maple leaf seed. has anyone else ever encountered this torqueicopter stall? its kinda fun when not fighting other planes...

No but I want to try it now.  I'll let you know how it works out.

50 extra nose cannon rounds  has ill effect on turn radius?

I think i'm better off dumping heavier 1200 peashooters (fire all rounds before taking off)  and take 200 cannon rounds instead:aok

I dump the BB's as well, but the extra 50 20mms do add around 60 or so pounds IIRC from E6B testing, plus when U get down to ten rds u know its time to rtb as the gonds are empty

its like saying that taking a feather off an elephant will make a difference...

[Scotch]

Yeah, at that point you should worry more about the angles you choose than the insignificant weight loss of your plane

[Imowface]

I like the BB's or the G2, with the fast rate of fire, I have found its very very easy to kill pilots with them, although, I have started to fly exclusivly with the MG-151 or the G14, as I find it is a better match for the 13mm Mg's

With elephants...
a feather might not, but at the end of the night, another beer certainly does!
