Jesus; I'm sure it's no doubt a little too easy to kill yourself doing a snap roll not 50 ft off the ground.

You didn't watch it 'til the end ... there was definitely a snap roll. Go back and watch it again.

The rapid increase in incidence happens at 22 seconds. He's actually inverted when he starts it. It's a negative flick!

That was what I thought initially too, but at the end he does an outside snap roll I think

@Craiggerz0417 Barely. The vid title should be changed anyway. You can as well call it a "River Raid".

@Craiggerz0417 You may be right, when I watched the smake trail behind the last roll it does appear to include some pitch as well as roll. I wonder how fast he was going there at the end, cause he would need to pull more G with increasing airspeed. Of course the G in this type of aircraft is short duration unlike modern fighters which can pull hard for almost unlimited time, so you can handle substantial negative G without redout.

yes he did at the end.. inverted snaproll
-
yea he never did a snap roll
The snap roll in this comes at the very end. It's an outside snap... Meaning he is pushing the stick to enter an inverted stall then adds the rudder. You are correct about the first roll sequence though, they are just aileron rolls.

THat did not look like a snap roll to me, it looked like aleron rolls. A snap roll is essentially a forward moving spin. You enter the snap roll by pulling hard aft stic to cause an accelerated stall, and kick in rudder to make cause the spin. Since you are in an acellerated stall you can get out of the spin/snap roll by letting off back pressure to end the stall/spin. I saw no pitch change that would indicate a snap roll, but I could be wrong.
