Default RE: 540T Wing rock+snappyness problems solved!

Man am I confused now.[sm=confused.gif]

ibange, I think you're talking about two different problems. The way I understand it (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is;

A "tip stall" is a slow speed problem caused when one wing stalls before the other. But it is the wing that stalls.

"Snapping" is altogether different. When a plane "snaps out" of a loop or other maneuver it's caused by the elevator stalling. It's a combination of too much speed and to much elevator throw. When the elevator stalls you loose both pitch and roll stability (because one elevator stalls before the other). The result is the same as performing an intentional snap roll (except for the surprise factor[X(]).

Two different problems, two different cures.
