Lots of credible references were being posted here when the thing got bugged.
The historical rate of pitch change is between 1 and 3 degrees per second, depending on the installation (a document i saw here explained that it worked faster on Fw-190s) and the load on the engine.
According to a link posted by another forum member (
http://marseillegruppe.com/foro/view...f328cb9d3b84f4) the 109 should be able to have about 1.5 degrees per second of pitch change while the pitch control is held.
One degree corresponds to 10 minutes on the little clock-like instrument, so for our 109 the clock hands should rotate 15 minutes for every second the player holds the control deflected. In other words, a full hour (6 degrees of pitch) on the clock in four seconds.
