Was it rolling nose low?

Did it seem as though it was rotating around a wingtip? or were the wings staying "level" as in the tips pointing to the ground and it was rotating around the center of the fuse.
not sure what "rolling nose low" means. a steep dive, nearly straight down. Not rotating around the wingtip, pretty sure it was around the fuse centerline, and definetely had yaw and pitch changes (think those are the terms) while rolling. need to get back out there and try it again. I was out of daylight so didn't get to mess with it much.

Nose straight down, wing leading edges pointing to the ground and rotating like mad around the center axis of the fuse
sounds like what Im seeing. Were you getting that with max r. rudder and d. elevator like me?

Ok Im calling it a snap roll until I hear different and will try to figure out if its positive or negative. do snap rolls usually require ailerons?
