Throwing some light on rates of turn

It might not be your joystick, just the way that calibration works.

I think you and Talisman may be on to something. In flight I've sometimes noticed I wasn't getting full deflection of my ailerons (Spitfires, Hurricanes), but figured that was due to, what? Airstream pressure? On the ground I always had full deflection of all control surfaces, so I never gave it much thought. I never did any altitude/airspeed checks on control surface effect. It may be hardware-related or another bug come to light.
