The Rifle Roller usually consists of consecutive full aileron rolling (left or right) down the runway at high speeds.

[H=1]Performing the Maneuver[/H]
This maneuver is fairly simple to achieve, yet hard to perfect and make it look good. The first thing you want to do is find a comfortable altitude to start this maneuver, and then apply full left (or right) aileron to start rolling. If the airplane starts to fall of up,left,right, or down apply very minimal elevator and aileron to keep the rolling in a straight line. (just like a rolling harrier, just at a higher speed)
