Re: gun synchronization to fire through propeller arc

hello

I remember an article in aviation magazine when Adolf Galland said in an interview he prefered the Bf -109 over the Fw-190 because the guns of the Messerschmitt was less prone to jamming in high g. factor maneuvres.

I think the cause is the wing guns of the FW-190 were more far of the centre of gravity of the plane and they had problems with the feeding of ammo in high g conditions than the nose guns of the Bf-109.

Martin
