The AA77 maneuvering problem is more basic than just roll rate. Why not chart the supposed course on a city map, using the greatest possible turn radii, then work it as a centrifugal force problem at 530 mph (kts I presume?). At 530 in a 2g turn, the nose just creeps around the horizon. Even if you totally neglect the time required to roll into/out of the required bank, I'll bet you need to make 4 or 5g turns to fly the required course.
