I've been thinking more about this - and while my original question was about just the up-line snap, you can (I think) tell that I guessed everyone used a yaw 'cheat'. I'm thinking a couple of reasons might explain the fact I am so far off base here - A) everyone does their snaps at a much faster speed than mine (try snaps as slow as you can, and I think you'll see the yaw problem I try to address with the 'cheat' OR ii) many of the responses are not actually advice on snaps as much as what folks have read, heard, or been taught.

I see what I think is a bit of 'textbook advice' here - I mean description of how 'it' should be - but I am actually looking for real advice - I'm not meaning to criticize in any way, I am simply looking for (real) feedback.

On an upline - how do YOU do a snap for IMAC? How do YOU address the potential for a yaw 'issue' at exit? (At this point, as mentioned very early in this, my 'plan' is to try the upline snap with very little elevator to initiate it, and to use rudder and (eek!) aileron to give the right look - haven't tried it yet, so I can't say how it will look or work)

On 45 degree up or down, or horizontal lines - how do YOU do a snap for IMAC and how do YOU address the potential for yaw issues?

I mean, not how have you heard or read it should be done, I mean - actual and real experience - which I guess means competing at Advanced or above.

Cheers,
Bob
