In unlimited glider aerobatic competitions there is a figure called
the "super slow roll" where a 360 degree roll must take AT LEAST 10
seconds to perform.

I love the super slow roll, and consider it one of the harder maneuvers to
perform correctly in demonstration work.
I once did one in an S1S Pitts the entire length of Dulles Airport. Takes
tremendous timing and coordination in the Pitts. I used my fingertips on the
stick and braced my heels solidly on the floor using my ankles as fulcrums
on the rudder for this maneuver; (which I always did anyway :-) .
