we must believe in an anglo website?
Now I hope this thread continues with no further issues
First of all, My english is not good. plz understand this.
Most of documents and flight sim game discribe Bf109G-6 had bad maneuvering. but I cannot understand.
Bf109G-6's gross weight is only 3350kg. It has no GM-1 Booster, Pressuerized cabin. Everything changed from Bf109G-2 is FuG16 radio set and MG131 Maschinengewehr.
The bulge reduced speed of G-6, but it didn't couse of bad maneuvering.
What factor makes Bf109G-6's bad maneuvering? I cannot find about this.
By saying "further issues" you mean any opinions in support of german aircrafts?
Now with the elimination of Don L you have banned almost every single LW friend .

It's an internet 'factoid' which grows more insidious by repetition. Like deep rooted weeds, you can cut the tops off but the damned things keep coming back.

Hello Koopernic
As Stona wrote aileron reversal and reduced effectiveness due to the high input forces required or aeroelastic properties of the wing are not the same thing. And in spite of the wing aeroelastic problems British significantly improved Spit's ror by introducing metal covered ailerons in 1941. OK according to my understanding 109F also rolled better than 109E.
And
"The end result is that the Me 109 and Spitfire had about the same roll rate at higher speeds. Neither aircraft was good at speed, both were modest compared to their contemporaries. "
Even if Spit and 109 had much common in fact according to DVL wing twist test on Bf 109F-2, which also gave roll rate for the plane, 109F-2 rolled worse than the standard wing Spitfire V shown in the figure 47 in NACA 868 report at all speeds, paramets used: around 3km height and with 50lb stick force. The difference was marked (over 10deg/sec) at IAS speeds under 260mph, small (under 5deg/sec) from 275 to 300 mph IAS. It maxed at Spit's max roll rate speed 200mph IAS, being 33deg/sec., and was smallest at 109's max roll rate speed 280mph IAS being 3deg/sec. At 390mph IAS normal wing Spit rolled 14deg/sec faster than the F-2 used by DVL. And according to the NACA report clipped wing Spit greatly outrolled the 109F-2 through the whole speed range.
One must remember that 109G had a bit stiffer wing than 109F, its wing skin at roots was a bit thicker.
