Hurricane Roll Rate

theres some varying information around from what i've been able to look up in the immediate timeframe, suffice to say its fairly obvious that all 3 were considered roughly compareable in roll rate, the discrepencies in data ive searched is minimal and theyre all around the 55-60 deg/sec mark. with the 09 slightly better at some speeds, the spitfire better above about 320mph. I guess the point mainly here is that for comparable conditions, i would think a 50% slower roll rate as unusual for the hurricane.

dont get me wrong, if its supposed to be that way and there's solid evidence of that then no worries. would be good if some other peeps could try it out and see if they see any marked differnces
