Um...... yes Bob that did fix the snap issue. LOL After 13 years as an IMAC competitor I got used to doing them a certain way. 15 min after the conversation with the Judge and CD a snap condition was programmed into the TX that cut my elevator and rudder throw in half and maxed out my aileron. So yes now I am '' Aileroning '' my airplane through a snap roll like everyone else and the judge can kid himself into beleiving I am stalling through the manuver. I can't help but linking these manditory violent snaps and wing failures...........Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMM
Well, snap rolls, the way we do them in IMAC and Pattern, are not fully stalled maneuvers. Airplanes are just too lightly loaded. If they were fully stalled, exits would be very very difficult to hit or predict. They are highly loaded, yes, and partially stalled on the yaw side. The other side is still flying, lifting.
The snap we fly is an aerobatic maneuver better described in full scale aerobatic circles as a flick roll
A true snap roll in full scale airplanes, not aerobatic, could ruin someone's day very quickly. Putting a bunch of extra weight on a typical 800 square inch and then slowing the crate down will do the same thing, ruin your day
