In the single hole round wing you'll notice PIO graphically the first time
you try a point roll with a sharp stop. The natural tendency is to be
sharp on the first 90 knife. What usually happens to the novice is that it
stops on a dime but just the slightest bit of forward stick starts a real
bad PIO that gets progressively worse the more you try and stop it.
The result can really shake you up if you don't let go. I've seen those
things go to 3 negative and 5 positive as quick as you can say "Holy Pitts
Batman!!" :-))

Reminds me of my last biannual in the RV. A very experienced stick offered
to do the bianuual for free, so off we went. I wanted to do some unusal
attitude recovery work, so closed my eyes and turned it over to him. I
hadn't bothered to brief him on the responsiveness of the RV, and had
AssUMed that with his Pitts experience he'd be fine in the RV. Before I
grabbed the stick, he bounced both our noggins off the canopy twice and the
telltale on the G-meter read +3/-2. He did better the second time around.
