The Barrel Roll
Picture 'barrel/gif'
The barrel roll is really more of a corkscrew roll. You begin by diving to increase speed to the same as a loop, turn 20 degrees to the right and pull up as for a loop. At about 45 degrees move the ailerons over to the left and roll gently over and out at the bottom. You should not lose any height during the manoevre.
