What are the roll rates in AH?
You should read the first graph BTW, the thick line (ymax=15) shows the roll rate at 15degrees stick deflection in radians.
The other line Em=15 shows the roll rate at 15 degrees middle value aileron deflection. The Bf 109`s ailerons deflected assymetrically, upwards 22 deg 40', dowards 11 deg 20', middle value being about 16. Appearantly this line shows the max possible deflection, so going by the max aileron deflection values (until limited by stickforce), we get :
Max roll rate of Bf 109F-2, at 30kg/66lbs stickforce :
200 kph = 45 deg/sec (0.8rad)
300 kph = 68 deg/sec (1.2rad)
400 kph = 83 deg/sec (1.45rad)
480 kph = 20kg/44lbs limit500 kph = 88 deg/sec (1.55rad)
600 kph = 91 deg/sec (1.6rad) - peak value
700 kph = 56 deg/sec (0.98rad)
800 kph = 23 deg/sec (0.4rad)
Considering the aircraft reaches it`s peak roll rate at rather high speed, the stories about the set in cement, ineffective ailerons are really reaching.
To conver radians to degree:
Take the radian reading, divide it by 6.28 (ie. 2phi), then multiply with 360 to get the degree/sec value.
This pretty well agrees with both anecdotal evidence and other measured data :
"Roll performance is similar to a Hurricane or elliptical wing tipped Spitfire. A full stick roll through 360 degrees at 460kph takes 4 to 4.5 seconds without using rudder, and needs a force of around 20 lbf. One interesting characteristic is that rolls at lower speeds entered at less than 1g, such as a roll-off-the-top or half Cuban, have a markedly lower roll rate to the right than to the left. Therefore, I always roll left in such manoeuvres."-Dave Soutwood on flying Black 6 (Bf 109G-2/trop), 109 Lair
http://109lair.hobbyvista.com/articles/airframes/black6/bk6_flight.htmIe.
4-4.5 sec for 360degree roll at 460kph = 80-90 degree/sec roll rate.
And also this doc states ~4.5sec for 360 degree roll at 450 kph, ie. ~80/sec :
The NNW-SSW lines show the stickforce limiting the available roll rate in kg. 20kg = 44lbs stickforce, 30kg = 66lbs stickforce. So if AH models with 60 lbs, the 30kg line is just about compatible, 6 lbs diffo won`t change much.
So is there a roll rate chart for the Bf 109F-G for AH to compare with?
