It is elementary

Lads, it is ever so elementary.

Limit turns, are dependent on the particular aircraft. A higher g loading does not mean a higher rate of turn. At least thats what I was taught thanks to Her Majesty. First rule, If you want to out turn someone my boy, min speed, max bank, max power, sit in stall buffet.

On a more practical note for you boys who havent flown an aircraft that goes faster than 700kts, full flap, min speed, max bank, and max g up the point of stall. Max rate and Min Radius are one and the same. Check your books.

The basics are the same, the rules dont change, keep it simple and you will never go wrong!

Best of Luck!! And keep trying!!
