Although the aircraft roll rate slowed at wings level, the negative G continued and shortly thereafter the roll to the right commenced again. 2, record 1, English, - negative%20g

Lorsque ce dernier a atteint le point dans l'espace où les deux avions de tête s'étaient rejoints, il a amorcé un tonneau barriqué très rapide à G négatif vers la droite, réalisant un tonneau complet en 3,5 secondes environ. La vitesse de roulis de l'avion a diminué lorsque les ailes sont revenues en palier, mais l'accélération négative a persisté et, peu après, l'avion s'est de nouveau engagé dans un roulis à droite. 2, record 1, French, - g%20n%C3%A9gatif
