Awesome video! 

I wonder if this video would be admissible as a test regarding the roll rate of our own P-40E.  At two points he makes the airspeed known, 200 and 220 mph. 

"And you don't need full deflection, I've got uhh 220mph, that's plenty..."

A quick stopwatch gives me about 4.4 ish seconds for a full roll, limited stick deflection.  Going to test our own P-40s right nwo.



PS, his mustache sucks.

That was Jeff Ethell. He was killed in a P-38 crash in 1997.

Awesome videos.  Interesting how he is always watching the coolant when on the ground for overheating.

Looked like it rolled much like a Spit or 109. I was surprised by him saying the P-51 didn't roll as good as the P-40. That is certainly not my experience with the in-game P-51.
