Mark,
I appreciate your comments, I do like the way your snaps look, so I'll give it a try this weekend. I'll try using 1/2 rudder. I'm not sure I understand what you mean about "Speed is your friend in stopping the snap" but the plane is nearlystopped when I exit - I assume this is no good and what you are talking about. I'll let you know how it goes.
