Kyle, if the roll is completed in 4 seconds, that means the airplane
will be 'falling' about 75 knots after 360 degrees. Doesn't that mean
if you start the roll with a vertical velocity of 75 kts you'll come
out with a zero vertical speed component? With a 150 kt airspeed, that
means starting the roll with a 30 degree climb.

Interesting idea!

Thanks

The notion of starting in a climb solves a lot of problems, I had not
thought of that,

And if you start S&L and fast, you can enter the climb while in a
controlled deceleration, too, keeping that 1 G component down relative
to the seat, too.

How fast do you have to enter, and how long does the roll take?

Thanks!Anywhere from 100 to 170 knots. The roll probably takes 4-5 seconds, but I
don't have the skill level to perform a roll and time it simultaneously.
