Really pretty easy---Hold your knife edge and as you make your pass add a quick ele/ail and more rudder as you release the aile/ele to nuetral ease back to where your rudder in-put holds your knife edge. Try this with your trans in front of you for a couple of dry runs and you can see how it feels and how to get your rudder back to where it needs to go and then fly a couple at a little higher altitude and you will get it real quick. Hope this works for you. Have fun.

Word of warning.... practice these at a HIGH (2-3 mistake) altitude for the first few tries. Several of my planes require that you release ALL controls after the snap; if you continue holding rudder, the plane will continue snapping. Be careful and try a few different approaches first before you do it low.
