Re: Hurricane Mk IIC cannon:drum-magazine or belt-fed?

A very interesting thread. Just one small observation: inertial coupling is a gyroscopic effect that impacts handling and control, not performance. It is most frequent in aircraft with very low roll inertia (like early small wing jet fighters), and shows up as unintended (and in the worst case uncontrollable) pitch and yaw in response to roll control inputs. Adding heavier guns in the wings would actually reduce this effect.
