[NSRCA-discussion] Proposed Advanced

[Charlie Barrera]

Negative snaps are a piece of cake, once you have the airplane set up properly. It’s a matter of going "to the corners” ... down elevator and opposite rudder and aileron. A little awkward when learning, but becomes very natural after a few tries. …Charlie
