My caller saw my mistake and immediately after the maneuver he began, quite loudly I might add, telling me what a great job I had done... the end result, a 9 and an 8.5.
And that exactly is the issue at hand! We are striving for accurate judging and this topic is about judging, not flying. (My condolences to the other pilot that you beat by 2 points who did the 2 of 2 correctly. I’m sure he left that contest shaking his head wondering if all the time, effort and money was worth it.)

One final thought... if you want to see what a snap roll should really look like (other than the entry), rotate a spin on its side...
So you would zero [link=http://www.rcmania.cz/modules.php?name=Video&op=view&video_id=72]Christophe [/link] seeing as his snaps look nothing like a horizontal spin?
Edit: I just watched that video again…damn that’s some nice flying! The 1.5 snap at 5:33 is IMO a good example of what a snap should look like.
