Snao G's

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Speed is the governing factor, since the model's inertia is what changes in  
a snap. A loop generates maybe a couple G due to pitch action alone, and it  
should be additive to that induced by the snap. 
 
I find it curious but reasonable that the accelerometer indicated the same  
value for both a snap at the bottom of a loop as well as one done at S&L.  Two 
distinct maneuvers done at different times.
 
Wonder how many G's the Wall, Blender or Parachute stunts  generate?

So, if I am interpreting these numbers(realize only one day and flight)  
correctly.  Beings the straight and level pos snap at 100mph(not unusual  speed) 
was -13G's and the Rev avalance at approximately 95mph was -13G's, then  the 
forces are about the same.  
 
So, if we can slow the rev avalanche down to 70mph then the G's would  only 
be -7.  
 
This seems to go along with previous arguments that speed is the  key.
 
My question is, if the G's on flat and level snaps are approximately the  
same, with approx equal speeds, as the rev snap, then why hasn't FAI pilots  been 
breaking planes with the 1.5snapopp 4/8????  
 
Before anyone says it, I have seen many of these 1.5 snaps flown with  some 
speed, so they weren't just puttputt into it.
 
Thanx Earl.  Interesting stuff
