| Subject: | Re: rolling kitfox |
I am thinking that some are getting a barrel roll (not axial) mixed up with a aileron
roll (axial if done right). The barrel roll looks like a cork screw and
keeps positive g's on the plane at all times. A good aileron roll is axial
and the flight path through the centerline of the aircraft does not change. There
is a huge difference between a slow roll (one full roll could go from horizon
to horizon if you wanted to) and a point roll (could be 4 or 8 points but
requires hesitation at each point) and just a regular aileron roll. All three
of these need to be performed axially and the nose should not waiver on the
horizon, which dictates the use of elevator and rudder inputs at various stages
of the roll.
Atleast, this is what we are taught in mini IAC judging schools and as IMAC competitors.
