How do you perform a snap?
My snap learnings: Full up (or dn), full aileron, full rudder. As soon as the limit is reached on one input, the next is started. So its 1, 2, 3 (really fast!)

Here's the cheat...full rudder activates a new flight mode that takes about half the elevator throw out.

Always snap away from the judges on single snaps, or towards the judges if 1 1/2. (Heading changes coming in are easier to discern than going out...IMO)

1 1/2 snaps...hang on the rudder for a moment after the rotation stops.
Scott,

I disagree here. I think snapping in always looks funny, especially on more than one rotation.
