RE: katana snaps with minimal elevator input
a snap is a type of stall
you do not have alot of pitch speed only about 45 mph
what your airplain is doing is stalling and the prop tourq is rolling it over
try a 12 8 just to see if the proublem goes away
if so find a prop between the two where you can still do 3d and not be at the edge of a stall at all times
