Snaps

Dennis,
 
But, this is the only way to make sure the judges "see" the break. The only way
I avoided getting zeroed was to give full elevator, then rudder and last aileron
on the 45 down negative snap. At least that is what I had to do with the focus.

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.

NOWHERE does it use the word "before" or "prior". It says
"Snap Roll is the simultaneous, rapid autorotation in the pitch, yaw and roll
axes of flight...."
 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.
