Whether it is tailed aircraft of flying wing style post a trick and how to.
Roll on a flying wing- pull up a little, steer all the way right or left, half way through push down a little then ease it back.
How about a tailed trick?
Jacknife?
Flying the plane at an angle?

OK... here is a trick to try... I will describe control inputs used on my Chief Aircraft 72" katana and 18 x 6 apc prop with an OS 160. Throws set to 3D volumes on elevator and rudder.
Establish a vertical line, pull power back to say 30%. Maintain vertical until airspeed = "0"... kick in full power and right rudder abruptly. At point when plane has rotated 90 degrees in yaw, (Right wing low) push full down, 25 to 100% LEFT rudder and 20 to 50% left aileron. (Some planes require no aileron for this actually) This is a "KNIFE EDGE SPIN" or formerly known as a "Hanno Screw". This can also be entered from a vertical downline, establish a shoulder roll, add power. Watch out for speed buildup! This is a "Gyroscopic" manuever so it is a little easier with a heavy plastic prop rather then a light wood one.
After you get this down, try doing a "270" to the left at top of vertical, and then stab in controls for this manuever. Another variation is to establish a 45 degree upline, roll left at 50 to 100% power, and after a few rolls, just push down elevator... might need to experiment with where the rudder and ailerons want to be. If it goes directly into inverted flat, reduce aileron and rudder inputs.

this is a simple but awesome manouver, throttle up (100%) turn into wind and bigin your verticle climb, keep power and apply right rudder, down elevator,left aileron you will notice your sticks will go to the inner corners of your radio, you just performed negetive snaps, do not use duel rates on this untill you are familiar!

jam your rudder all the way to the left at the same time pull all the way up.Thats a snap roll ,use a little aileron for a pro snap.Heck even some 3ch planes can do this so try it out.
