	Snaps are easy. I have developed a step by step method on how to
score 10s on all snaps. 
	
	1. Buy a fancy radio that has many stick position operated
functions. Futaba works best, as we all know all the "good" flyers use
Futaba. Plus you get to wear those cool orange shirts-you know those
ones that do not seem to macth any color combo, but hey wtf, we are just
uncoordinated airplane geeks (Futaba needs Queer Eye for the Straight
Guy help here...but thats another subject). 
	
	2. Get a plane that squeaks when snapping. This ensures to the
judge that you did indeed snap or there would not be a squeak. Even
squeaks made in China are acceptable. 
	
	3. Get an electric power source (for the prop). Only really good
flyers that are serious have the money, time, and insurance to use this
technology, therfore the judge sees this as "good". 
	
	4. Canvass this "list" and create propoganda to increase the
weight limit so you can actually get a chance to do your snaps at the
NATS-legally. 
	
	5. Most Important- Develop a "Halo" effect so you can do
cheatin' on the line snap with out getting zeroed. 
	
	
	Personally....I am working on step #1

	OK Larry, I'm starting to think you're a "mole" just posing as a
newbie to try and stir up trouble! VBG. 
	  
	You've just touched on another highly charged topic. (DON'T PEE
ON THAT THIRD.... ZZZAP!) 
	  
	That's pretty good for a "newbie" (I'm starting to wonder ;-) ),
two fire storms in just two questions. 
	  
	LOL. 
	  
	The short answer, make two 180 degree turns and land on the
runway without rolling off the side or pieces flying off your airplane
and you'll get a ten.  Notice, that I didn't say you couldn't crash on
the runway, to do so is entirely legal and you'll still get a ten as
long as all parts stay in tack. 
	  
	This is up for a vote by the Contest Board this summer and
"should" be changed back to scoring from 1 to 10, but you never know.

	I have another few newbie Sportsman questions if I may -
hopefully not as controversial as the "electric weight" issue :) 
	  
	After the Double Immelman without rolls (U) I will be flying
upwind and then exit the box if I am understanding this correctly. 
	  
	How should I get from there to landing? 
	  
	I am assuming a simple flat 180 deg turn (away from the flight
line) from the upwind leg to down wind followed by a normal landing
approach? 
	  
	What parts of that entire procedure are judged? 
	  
	On the actual landing - the rules talk about two lines 100
meters apart. Do I need to touch the ground inside those two lines
and/or roll to a stop within those two lines? 
	  
	Thanks! 
	  
	Larry
