Yeah -- we need to link that to something the user can get at (but again, only for aerobatic planes).

In aerobatic planes, it's possible to cage the gyros during maneuvers to avoid this problem -- that's something we'll want to support eventually.

Afterward, I notice that the attitude indicator seems to have "jammed"; tilted when the aircraft is in level flight. Upon further testing, I noticed the roll rate of the indicator still corresponds to the roll rate of the aircraft. The similar problem also occurs on the c172. After some investigation, I traced the problem to properties under /orientations. The issue can be reproduced by sending the aircraft into barrel rolls and other extreme maneuvers. This is actually a real feature. Your extreme manuevers have discombobulated your attitude indicator and it takes several minutes for the gyro to realign itself with gravity.
