[Dean Pappas]

I remember that day. That was the contest at which I came back to competition after taking a "break" for some edumacation. I did come in 2nd.

	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.

[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,
