Quote: There is one thing you do wrong in that test which is a blatent mistake.
You can't test any speeds in a turn, in one of the images your plane is banked, and that'll give you a wrong result.
If you did that IRL, your IAS would be wrong due to the airflow into the pitot tube not being paralell with the tube itself. I can't be bothered to explain it here, but look it up on google or something if you don't understand what I mean :wink:
I really don't want to break out my aerodynamics book, it stands so nicely on my shelf :roll:
Just remember to keep your wings level with the horizon for any tests involving airspeed, rate of climb/descent etc. and all will be grand :wink:
The plane is not banked. It is in spin immediately after wing destruction.
