Default Glass cockpit aerobatics.......
While my son was working on my Enigma web site, I discussed doing aerobatics with a "glass" screen and described in detail how a roll should be done.........next thing I know, the nose is coming up, the ailerons deflected and 'round we go ending up in a slight nose down attitude and recovering back to the horizon. See what y'all think.

One of the great things about glass cockpits and acro....no mechanical gyro bearings to wear out!

What's your roll rate? Looks like about 60-70 degrees per second...is that proportionate to the RV?

Default Much faster.
Nah,
The RV's roll a lot faster than that.......that simulation is probably half the available aileron.
