[NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

[JShulman]

401... the only time I flew 401 was when I was 7 years old (81 Jamesburg
contest). And I don't think I was 2nd. You sure it wasn't 402?

  Your lack of a halo can be tracked back to that 401 contest that you came
in second against some "Old Guy"-probably 40 or so.

  No wonder why I can't roll my snaps and score...

  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.

  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,
