Not even two seconds between barnstorming and gone.
Rest in peace, Jane and Charlie, now stars in the sky.

Barreling while rolling off is a common mistake people make (RC & Real) forward pressure while rolling off was inadequate, in a low level inverted run normally you roll off after establishing a inverted climb (Negative 'G' Pushover) especially for an aeroplane which needs a lot of forward pressure to hold inverted, not trimming off the push force also adds to the problem. Frame by Frame analysis does show he had close to 4-6 deg of +ve elevator, when the barreling happened there was no top rudder either, that is strange, you normally roll of from a low level inverted run also with top rudder, that brings me to the question, was he adequately prepared ? did he train for it ? or was it tech fault.

Whatever it is "Fly Free Comrade" :salute:
