[NSRCA-discussion] 1 1/2 snap technique

[Keith Black]

I stand corrected, instead of "not had a 1 1/2 snap for several years", make that, "not had a 1 1/2 snap for two years".  But for goodness sakes, that's not the point of my question, I just want to talk about the 1 1/2 snap, not everyone has been in this sport since the 90's! 

And BTW, what does judging the 2/2pt-slow roll in FAI have to do with the snap question? 

This list needs some Ritalin.

  Keith,

  the previous Masters Schedule to the "current one" had exactly that a 1.5 positive snap on a 45 down line. So its only been out for 2 years or 1 cycle. It was in place in 2002-2004 for a total of 3 years. This is when AMA switched back to a 2 year cycle.

  The stuff in these sequences have in them have been around for a long time. Especially things like the Figure M. This was in the Masters pattern of the late 90's and it was flown for about 5years or so.

  The 2/2pt-slow roll reversed is a first of its kind in AMA pattern but it has been in FAI since the change to the new style sequences in 2000. That's going into its 7th year. And its been judged in FAI the same way for the past 7 years. Don't understand why its an issue today. Are you guys judging the FAI guys different than you should be?

    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....

      Matt

      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.

      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.
