Default RE: Another snap question...

I have a question related to snap. It would be interesting to hear all opinions because I couldn't find a clear description on IMAC site.
On a knife edge snap roll, what do you stall first, fuse or wings ? You are flying on the fuse but as counter argument stalling has nothing to do with gravity.
I can find good reasons, at least in my mind, for both ways but I don't believe it's got a duality nature as the light.
My brain switched languages 1 hour ago so, for clarity let me itemize in my mock-up english:

1. You start with the rudder, the nose will departure on vertical. Arguments : easy to see and it feels consistent for judges.
2. You start with elevator and stall the wings. Arguments: the wings are stalled first and even if you're not flying on them I think I've seen it somewhere written as a rule.
