Default barrel roll in 172

Geez, Morgans, can't someone ask a simple question about whether an
aircraft can perform a roll without you jumping to the absurd
conclusion that he's going to run right out and do it? There is such a
thing as "idle curiosity."

Take your meds and calm down.


First of all, lay off on the personal suggestions. That is unnecessary, and
in bad taste, when made in a serious tone, as you did.

Secondly, asking such a question, in the light of a certain other pilot from
the northwest already doing one and bragging about it here, it is
understandable to be concerned about doing it. Why on earth would a person
ask, if they were not interested in trying to do it?

Asking about such a procedure, IMHO shows a possible lack of judgment
developing. Any reasonable,sane person would know that a barrel roll in a
stock 172 is a very bad idea, unless it is done with the blessing of the
manufacturer, and performed by a very experienced acro pilot.
