Various snap rolls and a bit of a tail slide.

Ugh - "not available in your country"

How do you kick the tail around like that? (2:55, 3:40 for example)

[FLS]

Sorry Ammo, the video is blocked in Germany.

Atlau most of the video is variations on a snap roll where you stall one wing. Even the half roll is a snap roll. You pull the stick back and to one side and push the opposite rudder pedal. For an inverted snap roll you push the stick instead of pull. Entry speed, flaps, and climb angle will change the result as well as how long you hold the stick and pedals and when you reverse or neutralize your controls. If you want to play with it a good start is a P-47 or F4U at 150-200 mph with 2 or 3 notches flaps going straight up.

Are you stalling the aircraft first and then putting in aileron/opposite rudder? Or getting the wing to stall by quickly applying the cross controls?

[FLS]

If you pull straight back one wing usually stalls first. When you roll and pull the descending wing stalls first.

FLS you have excellent control of the plane. I am a dork and enjoyed the video. Someday I will be a P47 master like you.

Had an urge to yell "Americuh!" at about the 45-47 sec. mark

Thank you guys. I wasn't too happy when I hit the trim button and banged the gear on the runway but it turned out to be a good cue for the music.
