<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards. Two comments. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Snap characteristics are independent of scale. The only thing that changes is the clock ( due to changes in moments of inertia ). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the rudder is applied it is the outboard wing that exceeds the stall AOA and dumps. Actually it is not much of a lift dump but a huge jump in drag.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV>Nat true. Moments of inertia are design parameters. So are several other key parameters that may make or break a model's ability to perform snaps. That was my point.</DIV>

<DIV>I agree in terms of AOA (outboard aileron low) and drag increase but I am not as sure regards to lift. I know what you are saying though. </DIV>

<DIV>One question: how does the outboard panel lift over the top if its lift has been dumped?</DIV>
