I'm assuming "Extra 300" was just meant as a stand-in for the concept of doing this in an actual light plane in general. If actually examining which is the best plane, I agree the Extra is not ideal, for its ability to get you out of anything with the instant flick of a wrist. Better would be something with a slow roll rate, so as to force the person to wait out some time, while the roll is still happening, still upside down and being forced to resist the temptation to pull during that whole time. Something with a yoke instead of stick, better yet for simulating the plane to be flown commercially. A 150 Aerobat would be ideal, except for having to climb for half an hour between every maneuver. A Decathlon (sans spades) is a fair compromise I think.
