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. -------- DO NOT ARCHIVE Leonard Perry aka SNAKE Soldotna AK Avid "C" / Mk IV 582 (147 hrs and counting on the rebuild) IVO IFA Full Lotus 1450 #1 snake oil salesman since 1-22-2009 I would rather die trying to live, than to live trying not to die....
