[NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

[Keith Black]

Matt, thanks for providing an answer to the snap question, that's three in this 29 message thread. It's all Gray's fault. ;-)

Perhaps this is a good time to segue (back) to the 1 1/2 snap technique question.

Given that the AMA schedules have not had a 1 1/2 snap for several years I'm sure there are many other Masters pilots that, like me, are trying to figure out how best to perform this maneuver. 

It would be great to hear different viewpoints and opinions.

   There you are Keith, the answer to your original question.... Make your plane weigh a ton and you too could produce instant snaps. Whether you want them or not. Just kidding....

  PS-  for the 1 1/2 down snap, one thing that works well and you might want to practice is to snap out (away from the flight line)....that is to left on a left to right entry and right on right to left entry. Hold the rudder and ease it out as you exit to hold heading. Works for most wind conditions; heavy cross out is an exception.

    What is it?



  It is a 40-size airplane with a fiberglass fuselage.  I put a Super Tigre 46 on it.  It weighed a TON.  This was before we discovered that light is better.  It would often snap roll in an landing approach, however, it never crashed and doesn't have a scratch on it.   It kept me light on the controls.
