You are correct they have no ailerons. They do have Spoilerons, which cause a yaw moment which can be compensated with some rudder. They went with this configuration because the wing is so flexable that conventional control surfaces would twist too much causing binding.

He was not attempting a roll, just a very steep banking maneuver to show off to his family and friends.

Unfortunately, he did not have the altitude required, since the aircraft has little or no lift when the wings are perpendicular to the ground. You need vertical space to recover from dropping like a rock. He was an idiot and had previous problems hot-dogging as a pilot, but he unfortunately took several other airmen with him.

It uses spoilers for all of its roll control, which helped cause one of the most famous crashes when an idiot attempted a low level barrel roll. In the video, below, you can see the spoilers on the right wing fully deployed, but losing lift at that point did nothing to help resolve the situation.

Because it carries too heavy loads that can't make fast turn like ordinary airplane.
