Hence the deep wallow before the autorotation that results in the displacement of the flight path…to their advantage in this case. They used to do the two-plane formation snap on take-off, which always impressed me to no end.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>If you watch Patty Wagstaff do a snap, with a thin, fully-symetrical airfoil and added full-span stall strips, her snaps become virtually identical to the FAI "twinkle snap". A Pitts S-1 is somewhere in between. The Citabria, needing full "con" ailerons, will pause for a split second, then autorotate in a flash with surprisingly little displacement. So 10 different planes will all autorotate differently, some imperceptibly. Accordingly, many full-scale pilots snap with ailerons "pro" instead or with the traditional ailerons "con". Heck, most full-scale competitors get 10's on spins and they are literally flying/slipping the plane down the spin…never having stalled at all. <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>So for pattern, if it slows down for a micro-second, and the tail describes a cone, I call it good, even though I still can't do it that well myself...<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>John<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>On Sep 7, 2014, at 1:25 PM, w d via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br><u></u><br><u></u><u></u><u></u></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span>well since masters is know taking on traditional FAI maneuvers" rollers and such".. the twinkle snap will become the standard in AMA ...I will be doing one in the upline snap from now on...<br><u></u><br><u></u><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>gary <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 9:38 AM, Chuck Hochhalter via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<br><u></u><br><u></u><u></u><u></u></span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Well Don, that really didn't fire up a lot of enthusiastic discussion.
