Snaps

[Dennis Cone]

Hang in their Steve. Your right. If you change the pitch by adding elevator
first then it cannot be a simultaneous maneuver. It becomes one input
followed by another. There is no way this can be defined as simultaneous.

Read my 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. Certainly, the follow-on paragraphs still do
not mention "before", "prior", "do this first", it only says there must be a
break on initiation. It does not preclude the simultaneous autorotation.

Sorry, you can't redefine the word simultaneous.

 Don't stop reading as so many do, this is the next sentence.

 1. Since the maneuver is defined as a stall maneuver
(initiated by a rapid stall of the wing induced
by a change in pitch attitude), the nose of the
fuselage should show a definite break from the
flight path in the direction of the snap (positive
or negative) while the track closely maintains
the flight path.
