CORRECTION

In the calculation for g of the Greek machine I used a=wv (where a is accelerationn (m/s/s), w is angular rate (rad/s) and v is airspeed (m/s)) brilliant eh?

xept I FORGOT the 1g we start with on this planet. !!!!!!

So the calculation for the 'g' for the Greek machine works out at 2.7 'g' not the 1.7g I wrongly declared.

It's pitch rate is 21deg/sec and avg speed 90kts.
So that means 'g' = 1+wv/10 (a works out at 17ms^-2) or 1.7'g' PLUS 1g = 2.7g

Looks like it's fair to say that was limiting thrust after all.
