Not entirely accurate

The section on how to perform an aileron roll is not exactly correct. I think it may be a misunderstanding from reading the source. An aileron roll does not require a dive before performing. The maneuver is performed by first pitching the nose up 20-30 degrees. This helps compensate for the pull caused by the lift vector, which will begin to drag the inverted plane down. When the aircraft is rolled along its axis the nose will drop to level upon inversion, and drop below the horizon about 20-30 degrees upon completing the roll, at which point the nose must once again be pitched up to level. To the untrained observer, the plane appears to have simply rolled along its axis. Zaereth (talk) 16:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Star Fox is down!

I know what this page needs... THIS PAGE NEEDS TO DO A BARREL, er, AILERON ROLL! Translation: We should put something on this page about how Star Fox 64's barrel roll is actually an aileron roll.
