I have a quick physics, sort of, question about what controls roll rate. It seems that our models stop rolling quickly when the stick is released. It also seems that on planes capable of several consecutive axial rolls that roll #3 is no faster then roll #2. I assume a specific aileron deflection and velocity will create a torque which implies an angular acceleration -- not a constant roll rate.

Does all this mean that the plane reaches a steady (terminal) roll rate rather quickly?
