When you do that fast and hold the nose on a point it's called a ??????,
isn't it. Can't remember the name of that damn manuever but my long ago
glider instructor used to teach it. I think he just did it to sicken
the male pilots so he could spend more time with the coeds in this
college club but it was a challenge anyway.

I can do the above manuever - will have to try the slooooowww version.

In case you missed one of my posts a long time ago, on your next flight
try picking a spot Waayyy out in front of you. then slowly start a bank
and hold that spot with your rudder until either you run out of aileron
or rudder. then, slowwwwly (same rate as entry) bring it back to level
and not waver on the point or altitude. Then repeat it to the other
side.
Greatest coordination exercise I can think of in an airplane.
I'll do it with any airplane I fly to see what kind of control
authority I have while I practice a XW landing at altitude. It also
knocks off the inevitable rusty edges that sneak up on all of us.
