Default Factors that affect Torque Roll Rate?

Another mechanical engineer I see. I agree entirely with yellow jacket but don't share his views on wind, once in a torque roll you are at the mercy of the wind moving at the same velocity disappearing of into the distance, so once you are moving at the same velocity as the wind, the relative velocity is zero. Its heaps harder to control, but no slower once your plane is moving.
