Hello,
FWIW here is a little video of spins in an RV6a:

Interesting, Dale. I've never had spin training, so I'll abide by Van's suggestion that I not teach myself in the 6A.
I did notice your roll rate seems faster than mine, particularly the second half. Maybe I'm anticipating the roll-out to level too early, but I think your barrel roll time is a good half second or more faster than my 6A will do to the left. I don't use rudder input for the maneuver. Do you? Maybe that's the difference.

I gently push the pedal that is on the top during the time the wings are more vertical (about 45 degrees before and after) in the 2nd half of the roll only, this keeps the longitudal axis more stable and keeps the rate of roll going. Experimenting with the rudder pressure and timing will help you find your smoothest rolls. I agree, it is safer to learn spins, etc with a qualified instructor, I did. Thanks to Mark Cwikla, a fantastic CFII 1983, wherever he is. You may notice in the spin video the rate of spin varies quite a bit as the airflow jumps around the airfoils. Cessna 152 & 172s spin much smoother.
