Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group RE: A starting point

abart,

here is the definition of a dutch roll:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_roll>

here is the definition of a barrel roll:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_roll>

Generally, you should not be learning either maneuver while learning to fly.

The dutch roll is a stability problem with air planes
The barrel roll is a aerobatic maneuver that most air planes are not safe to
perform (most air planes (other than stunt planes) have prohibitions on
maneuvers that bring the wings and/or nose more than 60 degrees from horizontal.)
