Thanks for the reply's guy's

I'm looking for hands on (non AP) rollrates. The purpose
is to try to get the "feel" of the simulation right.
Any info on any configuration/weight will help.
We can set up the acf to match the situation you might
have information on and calibrate it there.
Like Mad flt says, if MAX CW deflection is hardly ever used,
rollrates in the "normal envelope" will do fine.

Found this that gives an indication on the B764;
http://cf.alpa.org/internet/alp/2001/feb01p22.htm

The first was a check of roll rate in bank-to-bank rolls from 30 degrees to 30 degrees at ½ wheel deflection. Flying the clean airplane at 350 knots, bank-to-bank took 4 seconds, for a roll rate of 15 degrees per second. Here is where a sharp control input initiated an aeroelastic response from the airframe. A later check of this same maneuver with flaps 30 at Vref=136 gave a bank-to-bank time of 6 seconds, or a roll rate of 10 degrees per second. This excellent response at slow speed in the landing configuration is another indication of the exceptional handling qualities of this airplane.

Cheers,

M
