I didn't want to hijack the "Full Aileron Deflection" thread, so I started a new one.
This wing design vs. roll rate issue has me terribly confused... I've been reading all the posts on this board trying to find the answer to the questions bouncing around in my head.
In that thread, Kevin's comment:
What are the factors that determine the roll rate?
Put in a simplistic form: Per the book, my Eagle rolls at 187 deg/sec and the S-2C rolls at 300 deg/sec. Looking at the similar construction of the two wings, if I put -2C wings on my Eagle, should I expect roll rates around 300 deg/sec at the same speed?
If I missed a post somewhere explaining this, just point me to it....

(emphasis mine)kjkimball said:...The roll rate for your type of wing should be around 260-275 degrees a second at 200 mph based on the actual measured roll rate of Jim LeRoy's bulldog I. Bulldog II with the later designed Wolf Pro 4 wings rolled 335 degree/sec at 200 which is what Tucker gets at that speed...
