You explained what has been known as a 'slow roll' since I started
flying heavy iron in the 40's. Have heard them called point rolls also
but only on rare occasions.

I thinK Stephen may be a Troll from his postings. I'm going to stop

I've always used rudder and elevator to hold the nose on a

slow or hesitation rolls. If I had my way, I'd do a hundred
hammerheads for every roll.
