[NSRCA-discussion] Snaps

[Nat Penton]

The outboard wing is seeing a huge increase in AOA with the aileron and elev  working cooperatively. Even though the inboard wing is experiencing lower flow it is being washed out by the aileron.

At the stall it is erroneous to consider a "dumping of lift". The lift remains relatively high over a broad range of the curve and the drag is going astronomical at this point. Refresh your memory ( like I just did ), get out your old text  and look at the typical wing curves.

    Regards. Two comments. 
    Snap characteristics are independent of scale. The only thing that changes is the clock ( due to changes in moments of inertia ). 
    When the rudder is applied it is the outboard wing that exceeds the stall AOA and dumps. Actually it is not much of a lift dump but a huge jump in drag.
  Nat true. Moments of inertia are design parameters. So are several other key parameters that may make or break a model's ability to perform snaps. That was my point.

  I agree in terms of AOA (outboard aileron low) and drag increase but I am not as sure regards to lift. I know what you are saying though. 

  One question: how does the outboard panel lift over the top if its lift has been dumped?
