<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What if I add throttle on a 45 downline snap to
keep the airspeed constant through the snap? That does not disqualify it as a
snap. You can't use your impression of a momentary drop in airspeed as any
kind of a reliable indicator that a snap was done.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Pitch break, yawing motion need to be
visible. Some line displacement is guaranteed and really doesn't deserve a
downgrade unless it's severe. Yes, there's the trick of whapping opposite
rudder as a lead to the snap onset to help fool judges who need to see the same
exact track afterwards, but in reality that should get a downgrade.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yup and I do use that as an indicator.
Remember the old Masters Reverse Avalanche? Sometimes the plane would actually
almost stop moving right after the snap (if it was done correctly). If the
plane cruises right through a "snap-roll" with no visible dissipation of
energy, it's probably a twinkle.</FONT></DIV>

Certainly it is a snap, and certainly there is a pitch break but it does

I can fly level or vertical (up or down) or at any other angle in between
and flip my elevator stick repeatedly from one end of a line to another
and my plane does not stall (oops I know I should say the wing or wings do
not stall) The arguement for a pitch break is fascious reguarding
our models. I go ahead and do the bump prior to the snap if that is
how the judges at that time want it, but to say that a plane did not snap
just because there was not an initial pitch break does not equal
actuality. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

better than to enter this conversation but, but, well here goes.
Don, I agree with your post about the three types of rolls. If
it is not axial and it is not a barrell roll the it is a snap
roll. Some one at some time put in the description of a snap the
requirement of a ptich break. Man has this caused
problems. Now tell me if a plane does a snap roll without a
leading pitch break then what roll was it, axial, nope don't think
so. Was it a barrel roll, nope not that either so low and behold
it must have been a snap roll. We have all set in a judging
chair and watched snap manuevers and we have flown these
maneuvers. We can all say that we have seen and or
flown many true snap rolls that did not have a any visible pitch
break, some are judged on our 1 to 10 scale and others at times
receive the zero. In the current Masters sequence the 45 degree
downline snap for example. I have flown that manuever many many
times and I have thrown in the "required" pitch bump and I have at
times neglected to do the bump, but you know what, in
either method the airplane performed a snap
roll.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

don't agree with that. You need to see a distinct pitch break and
yawing action to accompany the pitch break, otherwise there is no
real evidence that autorotation occurred. "Tail coning" alone is not
even a reliable indicator of a snap. You can easily cheat that
to sell a "snap". A snap is a stalled wing,
autorotation maneuver. Also, the tendency to downgrade snaps because
of any line displacement goes entirely against the physics of what
must occur in order for a real snap roll take happen. I think
we should have a rule that most clearly accounts for the physics of
what must occur for it to be a real snap, or just take them of
sequences entirely. And of course, educate judges and pilots
accordingly. Also, when you're a judge, don't be afraid to
zero or severely downgrade a wiffle snap, or whatever is being
presented to you if it's not a real snap. Especially don't be afraid
of zeroing snaps when it's a big name trying to sneak a snap cheat
in front of you.</SPAN><SPAN
