[NSRCA-discussion] Flight conditions?

[Emory Schroeter]

So, you have more expo in the spin condition so that it feels the same when 
you click the switch (when you are already holding in elevator)? I was kind 
of wondering when to flip the switch. I thought you would do it on the level 
flight before the maneuver. But, you flip it as you are going into the spin?

Also, why do you need a separate spin and snap condition. I thought those 
might be kind of the same so that you would only need two conditions 
(snap/spin and regular). What are the differences between the two?

Thanks,
Emory.
