Geoff Branch asks "can you roll one of those SAABS" (airborne type!)?
"Yes" (and have on "repo" flights just to
examine the nature of the beast under such circumstances, in the event
in terms
of "wake turbulence" recovery scenario.
Like most dynamically stable civilian types, it is very nose heavy
though the
roll rate is pretty good. The aircraft is not
designed (of course) for such loads and
this must be borne in mind in "recovery";
BTW, recovery from "unusual" attitudes
in taught and practiced in airline flight
training these days, as well. Here again,
with "wake turbulence" encounters, etc.,
in mind.
