How do you snap?

Just wondering...... I like to fly as realistic as I can. When you do a snap, do you use elev and rudder only, or do you add aileron? Just wanted to know how to best present the snap. Full scale had me doing just elev and rud, but it seems to look better with ailerons in the models. Your thoughts.... ?

This has been discussed endlessly on the IMAC list. Some pilots (who also seem to always fly 40% or greater models) use the full scale inputs. Smaller models seem (at least to me) to snap better with ailerons. Unloading the snap part way through seems to help. Precisely stopping the snap is what will gain points. Try many different ways with the model you fly and decide which version persents best.
