Analysis
The plt reported that after takeoff he did normal flt maneuvers, slow flt, stalls & wing overs in the homebuilt acft. He then decided to do a barrel roll, which he described as smooth until completion when the acft wanted to continue in the roll & the nose began to osilate. He stated that he was unable to maintain directional control & could not bring the nose up. The acft descended into trees.
