[NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

[Gray E Fowler]

Proper execution, and thus good scoring of this manuever requires years of 
preparation. First you must win both 402 and 403 at the nationals hands 
down....no doubt about it, back to back then win Masters the followin year 
in the same manner. This creates the desired halo effect which will then 
allow you simply "roll" through this  manuever without getting a zero.

[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,
