You'd be surprised. I certainly was.

A little less conversation,

An excellent reference is the English translation of Xavier de Lapparent's "The Aerobatic Four Minute Freestyle", which details the basic types of tumble.
Failing that, have your model draw a vertical line (upwards!) and as the speed decays put the stick in one corner and the rudder in the other and see what happens.
