How to do a Aileron Roll in a Citabria Aurora 7-ECA

[@staggerwing3767]

FIRST and ONLY correct aileron roll on KZbin!!! Marvelous!!!

[@PermafrostBeards]

So very cool! We can’t wait to get our 7GCAA back in the air!

A very informative video!

[@harvsairservice]

Glad you think so!

[@gary24752]

Won't a pony tail become inverted during an aileron roll?

[@song74uiuc]

The last part doesn't make sense at all. In a normal turn with constant power, if you neutralize elevator and only use ailerons, the airplane turns when in a bank but also loses altitude. It's the horizontal component of the lift that turns the airplane and that has nothing to do with elevator.

What people think barrel rolls are

[@biff1245]

Can it roll to the right too?

[@Gman-109]

Why do you need rudder in an aileron roll? Never understood this, why would you want to yaw the nose in a maneuver where you're just rolling around a different axis? Odd.

[@flexairz]

You need rudder to balance the roll. Aileron changes the lift vector and the horizontal component of lift turns the airplane. NOT the rudder.

[@pi.actual]

You don't want the nose to yaw but when you apply full left aileron the right aileron goes down and creates more drag than the left one which goes up. This is called adverse yaw and is very prevalent in the Citabria or any of the other planes that were built based mostly on pre-war designs in the late 40's. So you are applying rudder to counteract that adverse yaw and keep the nose straight. If you were in an Extra you wouldn't need to do this. Hope this helps explain it.

[@justcommenting4981]

​@@pi.actualwhat additional feature does an Extra have that removes the need to compensate with rudder input for adverse yaw?

Looks like a young patty wagstaff!!!

[@ABOhiccups]

Do the barrel roll! Push Z or R twice.

[@antonhengst8667]

I should buy a plane

[@hotrodray6802]

aileron roll or barrel roll ??? duh.

[@LeopardAppaloosa755]

Too much talking by the instructor. No one can keep all those instructions straight. Much better to demo it, discuss it, demo again etc till the student gets it. Firing off an long complex set of instructions is the least effective way to teach. Very frustrating for the student.

[@t.wadegonder1288]

Realize that the student knew the correct speed to start, so this most likely wasn't the first lesson, especially when recorded.
