<DIV>Wayne,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not long ago I did some flying for a few promotional videos, and
performed snap rolls from perspectives you don't have when flying pattern,
particularly when flying directly towards or away from the camera. It was a
real eye opener.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think I mentioned it sometime back about snaps not staying on track. I
would still like to see someone produce a video of a snap, flown directly
towards or away from the camera, where the plane stays on track.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There seems to be a common misconception that a stalled wing produces no
lift. This is far from reality. There is some loss of lift, but it is still in
a very high lift situation. Have you ever heard a full scale aerobatic pilot
talk about being weightless during a snap or spin? ;-)</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Earl... this is a post I was going
to send yesterday also. Kind of supports what your
saying.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seems if it really was a good snap that the
airplane would naturally be slightly off track at the end of the snap from
the original heading. SO... in theory... if the airplane was right on
track after the snap then it must of been either 1) cheated on the entry or
exit or 2) not really snapped.</FONT></DIV>
