Oh, you got that right! I think that I was just favoring rolling to the right and so left rolls seemed harder. It's pretty frustrating for sure. Again, I thank you for a great comprehensive breakdown of the manuever.
Thanks a lot. I think that you have one of the best instructional video's on this. I also find that the roll rate speeds up while rolling left and circling left. I tend to get behind on that one. Is that just me?....thanks again

@Plydrms You shouldn't notice a change in roll rate in either direction. You might be possibly dropping the nose a little more when rolling left. Less angle of attack will let the plane speed up causing the roll rate to increase. It's important to learn to keep the nose high. The higher the nose, the slower the airspeed, but at the same time takes more surface deflection to keep the angle of attack steady.Getting behind is part of the learning curve. Practice Practice Practice!

@Plydrms Thanks for the compliments man. Hope it helps out. I threw the vid together pretty quick late one night after a few guys wanted to see stick inputs during a roller so it's not my best work. lol If you frequent the sites Flying Giants or RCGroups, look me up. I'm BOSSIER ROB. If there's anything I can help out with, just ask. Keep at it. Once it clicks and you find your timing, it's all downhill. Also check out Bonedock's tutorial vids on here. He does some nice videos too.
@louisianaoutlaw Well, a little off topic question. Do you recommend a throttle curve for 3D, especially hovering? My DX7 has no throttle expo and is very sensitive.
@Plydrms If you use a shorter throttle arm, no. No need for a curve. I use a one inch arm and the throttle is pretty linear. I have used a curve with a longer servo arm. It really is preference. I like to be able to pump the throttle and stay around the 1/4 throttle setting without it surging like you are using tuned pipes.
@louisianaoutlaw Still practicing, mostly on RealFight sim. I think that my speeding up was due to getting out of sequence with the stick rhythm. This happens when trying to change the direction of turning while keeping the roll constant..(same direction). I often end up with rudder yawing into the ground. If timing is correct, should you always have top rudder no matter what the orientation of turn and roll?
@Plydrms Yes, all controls on high rates. I fly with as much throw as I can get. The aileron stick is indeed pegged to the side. If it's rolling too fast for you, you can either chicken out and turn your aileron high rates down a tad, or just get the nose up higher. If you can hold a steady high alpha harrier, try to keep that same attitude while rolling and it'll get pretty slow no matter how much aileron deflection you have.

Thanks Rob. Do you recommend high rates for all controls and do you just peg the aileron stick in the rolling direction?
