Re: Rogozarski IK-Z Yugoslavian Fighters

Andriano- last pilot who flew on this plane was Aca Stanojevic. he died few ytears ago and I have some interview material. During the pre war testing IK-3 perform turn radius of the 260 meters, which is just 10 meters more then most agile fighter in that time, Japanese A6M2. It is also test agains Bf109E, which was in Yugoslav inventory and it was also claimed better in many aspect especialy in dive. IK-3 have less speed but could took any manouevre during dive while German fighter could not and was more sensitive. Technical reports also stated maximum speed of 499 km/h what is much different then data published by few authors.

This is just few remarks from me and hope this help.
