Narrative:

We had multi faults. When all settled down; the two that stayed were; inboard flight spoilers; inboard flight spoilerons. When in an autoplt turn the aircraft turned hard over past 40+ degrees. I quickly disconnected the autoplt; hand flew the rest of the way in with a crab angle due to one of the boards out on the right side. Landed without incidence. Stuff just breaks. How about some lofts. After 25000 hours and 50+ check rides I guess I can fly. But I still remember the lofts that made me sweat and feel like I was learning. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter did not receive any feedback from maintenance or the company concerning the cause of this malfunction. He has a great deal of experience in the crj's and has not heard of this type of malfunction occurring previously. The initial roll went nearly to 60 degrees before recovery and substantial left aileron was required to fly wings level afterwards but was manageable. An emergency was declared.
