Snaps are easy. I have developed a step by step method on how to score
10s on all snaps.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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).</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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".</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
5. Most Important- Develop a "Halo" effect so you can do cheatin'
on the line snap with out getting zeroed.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Personally....I am working on step #1</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">

OK Larry, I'm starting to think you're a "mole" just posing as
a newbie to try and stir up trouble! VBG.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
You've just touched on another highly charged topic. (DON'T PEE ON THAT
THIRD.... ZZZAP!)</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
That's pretty good for a "newbie" (I'm starting to wonder ;-)
), two fire storms in just two questions.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
LOL.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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. </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br>

<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
I have another few newbie Sportsman questions if I may - hopefully not
as controversial as the "electric weight" issue :)</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
After the Double Immelman without rolls (U) I will be flying upwind and
then exit the box if I am understanding this correctly.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
How should I get from there to landing? </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
What parts of that entire procedure are judged?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
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?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Thanks!</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
