[NSRCA-discussion] Avalanche - Positive or Negative Snap?

[Gene Maurice]

Unless specified, the snap can be positive or negative, pilot's option. In
the current Masters schedule the Reverse Avalanche specifies 1 positive
snap.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Avalanche - Positive or Negative Snap?

I am wondering if the pilot has the choice on the type of snap in an
avalanche?  In Advanced maneuver 14 is an Avalanche.  The AMA rule book
states as follows.

"Model pulls or pushes up into a loop, at the top it executes a complete
snap roll, positive or negative, recovers to complete the loop and finishes
in level upright or inverted flight."

I was told by someone at the field that if you pull into a loop it has to be
a positive snap and if you push into the loop it is a negative snap.

My preference is pull into the loop then do a negative snap.  Just looking
for some clarity.

Regards,
Michael Laggis
