Interesting, Dale. I've never had spin training, so I'll abide by Van's
suggestion that I not teach myself in the 6A.
I did notice your roll rate seems faster than mine, particularly the second
half. Maybe I'm anticipating the roll-out to level too early, but I think
your barrel roll time is a good half second or more faster than my 6A will
do to the left. I don't use rudder input for the maneuver. Do you? Maybe
that's the difference.

I gently push the pedal that is on the top during the time the wings are
more vertical (about 45 degrees before and after) in the 2nd half of the
roll only, this keeps the longitudal axis more stable and keeps the rate of
roll going. Experimenting with the rudder pressure and timing will help you
find your smoothest rolls. I agree, it is safer to learn spins, etc with a
qualified instructor, I did. Thanks to Mark Cwikla, a fantastic CFII 1983,
wherever he is. You may notice in the spin video the rate of spin varies
quite a bit as the airflow jumps around the airfoils. Cessna 152 & 172s spin
much smoother.
