you can do it anyway you want. The way I do it alot is roll right into KE then when you want go full left rudder and full down elevator while holding full right aileron, this all should happen at the same time, so your holding the rudder in KE then really fast hit what I said or what ever you would like. Just go and mess around with the sticks you find the way you like.

I kind of like doing it the way Kyle said he likes it after trying. do your snap the same direction as the rudder you are using for KE so when it comes around you dont have to move your rudder stick at all to get it back to the same KE positon you started. makes it easy to do KE snap circles

that all depends on whether you are trying to do a positive or negative snap. The stick inputs for a snap are the same in knife edge as they are in level flight. If you roll right and are holding left rudder and you want to go positive-right-snap then you go up elevator, right aileron, right rudder then opposite rudder as you come around back to knife edge. If you want to do a negative-right-snap then you go right aileron, more left rudder, and down elevator then back off the rudder. a snap is a snap. positive require up elevator and same direction rudder and aileron. Negatives require down elevator and opposite aileron and rudder.
