Default barrel roll in 172

Your thousands of hours aside, this is simply an incorrect statement. A
barrel roll requires flying a loop and you can't fly a loop at 1 G. It
sounds like you are describing an aileron roll.


The descriptions from the aerobatic website, it appears, disagree with your
understanding of a barrel roll and aileron roll:
