I'm sure you have been thinking about this also. My calculation involve holding a pen up in the air and imagining what it will do. It is not easy to do if you balance it on your finger tip.

Yes, rate of turn could be quick.
Is there is an overall term used to measure a closed loop control system's reaction time? That is clock speed, sample rates, valve opening, slop etc. expressed as one value? Perhaps a go or no go type of answer with a fuzzy border.
Just a gut feeling says you should have bolt on "training wheels" till this child gets more mature. Perhaps a bolt on thruster pack on the nose with a separate controll, say kick in at 10 degrees and shut down at 5?


Doubling the number of engines and control systems certainly isn't going to make anything easier...
