recent Worlds the pilots/judges were told... If it's not an axial roll, and it's
not a barrel roll, it must be a snap roll. Take it for what it's worth.

9 snaps) in the F-11 pattern, I feel compelled to give the exact
description via the F3A rulebook:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">A snap-roll is a rapid autorotative roll where the
model aircraft is in a stalled attitude, with a continuous high angle of
attack.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Snap rolls have the same judging criteria as axial
rolls as far as start and stop of the rotation, and constant flight path
through the manoeuvre is concerned.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">At the start of a snap-roll, the fuselage attitude
must show a definite break and separation from the flight path, before the
rotation is started, since the model aircraft is supposed to be I a
stalled condition throughout the maneuver. If the stall/break does
not occur and the model aircraft barrel-rolls around, the manoeuvre must
be severely downgraded(more than 5 points). Similarly, axial rolls
disguised as snap-rolls must be severely downgraded(more than 5
points)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Snap-rolls can be flown both positive and
negative, and the same criteria apply. The attitude(positive or
negative) is at the competitors discretion. If the model aircraft
returns to an unstalled condition during the snap-roll, the manoeuvre is
severely downgraded using the 1 point/15 degree rule.
