Rough conversion for rotation rates?

Hi all.
Does anyone know if there is a rough conversion from the numbers in 'rotation rates' to degrees per second or RPS ?

I've used Spirit since they first came out and I always just set them to a number I felt I liked, but recently I've been doing more advanced things (for me :)) on the sim and am finding a bit of difference IRL.

I could just get someone to set a timer for a minute and count the number of flips or rolls I can do at full stick but it's a bit of a tiresome way to do it.

I installed 3.7 rc2 hoping the 'decimal step' change might have been what I was after, but it only seems to be half steps to the existing method, unless I'm missing something?

Cheers
D

You can set 0.1 step manually. Half step is just for mouse wheel or arrows.

There is no conversion, because it would be +/- 50°/s or even more depending on Flight Mode settings, rotor blades, cyclic feed forward.
However with Spirit GT/GTR you can measure real rate very easily by logging.
