[NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

[Jim Woodward]

Hi Keith,

 

Excluding elevator variance or other exciting list topics regarding
snaps, when doing a 1.5 snap you will "hold" rudder if needed to correct
the line afterward, where as with 1 rotation, you would quickly hit
opposite rudder to fix the line after the snap.

 

Jim

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

 

I've seen many discussions on single snaps (pull elevator first, follow
with rudder and ailerons, and even some say reduce ailerons and elevator
as rotations begins, etc., etc.), but I've never seen any discussion
specifically regarding the 1 1/2 snap.

 

This year's Masters pattern has the 45 degree down 1 1/2 snap. I've
gotten pretty good at both the inverted and upright 45 degree single
snap but this 1 1/2 snap is a different animal in that the up elevator
that initiates the snap will cause the nose to drop after the last 1/2
rotation if it's left in too long. I've not flown it too many times, but
the few times I've tried it I played with pulling out the elevator and
putting in a little down to try and hold the nose on at 45 degree angle.

 

I'm curious to hear others thoughts on how to execute this 1 1/2 on the
45 degree downline and keep the 45 degree heading.

 

Thanks,

Keith Black
