I am on several aviation threads here and they know my joking and sarcasm. Just a point you made re: 9g's ... if you read it you'll know it wasn't all the time. You pull a turn trying to get inside the other pilot's turn you will pull up to that much. Secondly there's a lot of huffing and puffing when you do it. The plane i flew was a Marchetti S.F.260

In any event those planes do +9, -3 G's. You don't fly that full envelope. It's just what it's capable of and sometimes you almost get up there and do that. Trouble is too many people take things at full value without bothering to ask. I get lots of private mails and we have a pretty fun chat there. They get it, some people don't.

Where did you find a model with a 50% bonus on G's?

It flies like a jet at speeds up to 271MPH, has a very light feel on the dual control sticks, can carry a tremendous amount of weight for its small size, and its ability to withstand aerobatic flight loads of +6/-3 Gs while maintaining a very low operating cost compared to jets.
