barrel roll in 172

Visual aid... take a model airplane, hold it between your
finger tips on the nose and tail. Rotate it so it turns on
the fuselage. That's a plain roll or aileron roll.
According to the acro site someone posted before, that is a slow roll. An
aileron roll requires establishing a slight up line, putting ailerons over,
but not trying to hold the line with the elevator or rudder, so that when
the rotation stops at wings level, you are on a slight down line.
