JB, I was quite careful when I did this. I watched the clip dozens of times and paused frame by frame. Sure, you can pause it from 1:32 to 1:34, but in that time he only does 180, if that. I was actually very liberal in when I considered the roll to be started. As you said yourself, I could have paused at 1:31. I tried to pause again as soon as the rolling stopped. Again as you said, I could have paused later, which would only have increased the time the roll apparently took. I think everyone who watches the video and isn't blind can agree that he never completes a 360. At no point do his wingtips return to their pre-roll orientations. That being the case, changing the times that I paused the video would only seem to increase the time it took for the maneuver.
I never said there wasn't a discrepancy between reality and AH, because I don't fly the 109E. But I found your claim of a 2-second 360 to be very disputable. That's a really fast roll rate for any plane, and I think this video does not contain evidence that the 109 is capable of it.
Also, you cannot expect HTC to watch a blurry video of a 2005 109E, largely rebuilt and restored, potentially from many non-original parts, and expect them to change their flight modelling. They mainly use wartime performance analysis documents, which are generally much more reliable. To me, this is like watching a shaky camcorder video of a point of light in the sky and then telling everyone there is life on other planets.
