Hawker Hurricane Roll Rate

Does anyone have a graph that plots the Hurricane's roll? The only ones I've seen are in the Hurricane Flying Qualities NACA document, and those aren't the standard miles per hour/degrees per sec charts.

I started to convert some pb/2V graphs, but my head started to hurt.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Colin, but I'm pretty sure those figures are from the computer game Warbirds. A great game—and one that strived for realism—but a game nonetheless.

Thanks though.

bletts,

This NACA report compares roll rates of the P-36, P-40, Spitfire & Hurricane, and whilst it doesn't include a full chart of their roll rates, it does give the maximum achieved for a given stick force for each at a specific airspeed.

So it might be of some use to you!
