ELE - DOWN

ANything else? Hahahaaa .... seriously, try to give less throw for certain controls and you will see the plane flip over slowly and its a lot more graceful than looking like a drunken bumble bee. Have fun ...

How would you do it to make the tail flop over the wing ?

That should give you a left upright snap roll. I say should because you need enough up elevator and left rudder to make the plane snap. Fairly large control surfaces and a slightly rearward CG also help.

To do a waterfall or flip-flop, you need a plane with very large controls and 45 degrees plus movement. Fly level, partial power, quickly pull up to vertical, full down and full power.
