I suggest starting with using only elevator first to work on getting your timing down. And if your roll rate is too fast take some aileron out. I have a rolling harrier setting where it is agressive tail movements and not so much aileron. If you use only elevator though for practice you can work on throttle timing as well and not add another element (rudder) to the equasion. Hopefully you also notice your elevator timing also steers the plane. Once you have this start adding your rudder and watch how it all smooths out.

Good info! I started out using rudder correction only. I also found it easier to do them downwind with a little more throttle. Upwind it has tendency to climb if you're a little hot on the throttle. My Matrix 40 would do nice rolling harriers using rudder correction only whereas my Funtana 40 needs both rudder and elevator.

Rolling harriers (for me) have been the most challenging 3D manuever. They are extremely addicting as well..
