Default What are rollers?

Hello!
I'm doing a search to find how I should setup my radio rates for IMAC and freestyle, and many times I usually see specific flight mode for rollers or things like that. So which maneuvers are in the "rollers" group?

THank you very much

Common terminology as Tony notes is rolling circle.

The "pure" name as per the FAI Aresti Aerobatic Catalogue is "rolling turn" Family2 figures.

They can be 90, 180, 270, or 360 degrees and have up to 4 rolls, but never more than 1 roll per 90 degrees of turn. Roll increments of 1/2 roll may occur as well.
