And that is where an opportunity to improve how we judge snaps exsts! Some departure in both the pitch and yaw planes must occur before autoirotation occurs. <BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The only problem with simultaneous initiation in all 3 axis is that it is a guarantee that the beginning of the roll was not in a stalled condition, i.e. not an autorotation. Therefore, that part of the roll isn’t a snap and should be downgraded using 1 point per degree criteria. Then the trick becomes determining just when the autorotation actually did commence while the airplane is already rolling quickly, primarily due to aileron and to a degree rudder. Until the wing stalls, it’s not a snap. The main thing that you can hope for in a real snap roll that relates to precision is that you get the correct number of degrees of roll caused by autorotation in a stalled condition. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Remember, we use contestant judging - so it's a pretty good bet that if the judge isn't capable of judging a snap correctly, it's also unlikely that person can perform one correctly as a pilot. I'll bet that often the judge "requiring" a huge "break" is the same person flying them with a snap switch, or dual rates, set to maximum travels for all axis. They just chop power and pull the switch or stuff the sticks into the corner. Generally this results in a three axis track departure of some 15 to 30 degrees (as a barrel roll), now interpreted as a "break", before flow separation occurs on the lagging wing and a snap actually occurs. These excessive control inputs also bury the snap and make it totally ugly. However - these folks are doing what they think is required for a snap, so it must be right. (A lot of these never snap and are total barrel rolls.)</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">So - the education process is better focused on the pilot than the judge, and both will benefit (as will we all). As John points out - each full scale will have different snap characteristics. Same with pattern airplanes, and each situation may vary (45 deg lines, vertical up -down, level, avalanche, etc.). Snaps take a good set-up and skill to fly well, as well as being a fun part of pattern. Flyers who take the time to determine just what set-up up and technique their airplane needs to snap well shouldn't be penalized by those (pilot judges) who don't. However, this whole issue might slip away if those who've figured out how to do decent snaps would take the time to share with those that haven't. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

In both cases, <BR>> believe me, it was a true snap roll, but in the first case, you may <BR>> have seen some break, but in the latter, it would have looked like <BR>> everything happened at the same time around all 3 axes.

They defined it as a <BR>> "simultaneous departure in all three axis". There you saw graceful <BR>> snap entries, clearly defineable as a snap. At the IMAC Tuscon <BR>> shootout, they had had the pitch departure requirement, and most <BR>> were pitching what looked like 45 degrees (was probably 25 <BR>> degrees), before they entered the snap. Break, pause, enter snap. <BR>> Ugly as hell. At a pattern judging seminar I went to this year, we <BR>> sat around for half an our trying to decide what a "pitch break" <BR>> was. We finally decided that if you saw anything at all, it was <BR>> ok. But beware of IMAC judges crossing over, unless they have been <BR>> retrained.

In my book, <BR>> if they don't break any of those rules, (wing coming over before <BR>> the nose passes thru horizontal, not stalled, weathervaning, <BR>> etc.), I don't downgrade for the entry. Too many people want to <BR>> add their own definition to the rules about how an entry "should" <BR>> look, and tell you they downgraded or zeroed you. When you ask <BR>> them what specific rule you violated, they say it "didn't look <BR>> right". Some of these same people will coach you to "cheat" at the <BR>> entry to get a pretty one, dumping up elevator to get the nose to <BR>> fall thru, which really breaks the stall. Unfortunately, all <BR>> airplanes do not enter the same way, and some entries are not <BR>> pretty, but they don't break the rules.
