[NSRCA-discussion] Masters Avalanche question

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

I don't think the rule book how to do it....... One prominent F3A'er 
and former team member did these as Ron suggests and seldom got caught. 
Of course, very few of us have the fingers/thumbs to pull this off as 
precisely as he did

Ron, that is cheating, you should immediately point out to the judges 
that
you lead the snap in order to preserve the geometry of the maneuver.
