Eldorado,
I've heard conflicting reports on the roll rate, which is why I asked.
One A-4 pilot at Nellis confirmed the 720 figure, (this was well after all A-4s were out of US sevice, his was a target tug, or something, from a private company).
Another aerobatic pilot I know was also curious, and never found anything like that in his research. He came up with 380 degrees per second (which, by the way, is still pretty darn impressive!)
Do you know the reason for the lack of "skin" on the rudder?
