Warning to Masters Pilots

[Jim Ivey]

 Guys
I have tried this manouver and find that when I come off power sooner up at the top, the speed is more managable coming down and then add a little power just before the snap. The energy is added and absorbed within a short distance and I have enough energy to continue a smooth follow through.
Try it and see if it works for you.

I have always liked props with good braking action, perhaps this maneuver above all the rest will decide which prop to use. You will have to disspate a lot of energy before the snap, then the snap will kill more energy, then you will have to climb out hanging on the prop.
