Interesting. So where did the '19 seconds' come from? Of course, if Gaston can provide a verifiable primary source to validate his figures (does he know what this is?), there might be room for debate.
Actually, I'd still like to know how turn rates were actually measured. With figures being bandied about supposedly accurate to 1/10th of a second per 360 degrees, it would be nice to know how they were arrived at.
And I'm still waiting for a track that can show a
sustained turn in a Fw 190 A5 anywhere near 18.7s per 360 degrees. then again, I'd be surprised if you could do that in any true horizontal turn, sustained or not...
