Snaps

[ORLANDO FRETS]

To my way of thinking, if there is + incidence in the wing, in forward motion lift is generated be it positive or negative (up or down, to the right or to the left).

How do you stall a wing that is not producing any lift, as in the case when the plane is on a vertical up or down line?
My definnition of stall is when an increase in angle of attack does not produce an increase in lift.  Another might be when the lift does not exceed the weight.  I've got to believe we know a snap when we see it and we ought to quit trying to describe it in words.

 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.
