[NSRCA-discussion] Impact

[Doug Cronkhite]

Sounds to me like he might not have enough servo power. Winding up into
snaps and unreliable exits is a big indicator of this.

To the left, it looks like it's starting a barrel roll, then it  
breaks into the snap; however, it's hard to stop reliably.
To the right, it is much more ready to snap, but it just doesn't look  
"right".
There's a "ton" of elevator; so much so that the airplane is "touchy  
in pitch.

That fat wing just doesn't seems to like to snap.

Yep.

The only entry speeds he's tried are what you'd expect for the  
Reverse Avalanche and the 45 Down Snap.
