BK90 guiding capabilities. Several questions

[MobiSev]

How much “guiding” does the BK90 actually do? Can it pull G’s or is it only really capable of minor adjustments?

 

For example, could I do the following if I wanted two MJ2s to come in from different angles without having to make a separate attack run?

1. launch one like normal

2. pull off a little and launch a second one

Would the BK90 in this case pull hard to get back on course?

 

I know that it’s just a glider, and the speed would be reduced.

With a 10km range in flight direction and a 5km to the side of launching plane I would assume it is capable of doing a 2.5km radius 180 degree turn minimum.

There's a targeting envelope diagram for it in the manual somewhere. You can launch it a bit off-axis, but not much more than that. It is definitely not capable of a 180 degree turn.

Ah, so this one it totally off then:

Well, the 90+ degree turns in the upper left corner don't seem to jive with what's in the flight manual, no. The rest looks at least sorta plausible considering it's a rough sketch.

I read that rough sketch as showing both flight paths and release points. And yeah there are some seriously sharp turns in there for the BK90's. Especially for planes 2 and 4 (numbered from top to bottom) 1,3 releases seem pretty plausible.
