Default RE: elevator induced snap.

G'day Mate,
An elevator induced snap, is caused by flying too slow, & using too much elevator, which stalls the wing, & the tailplane, ( horizontal stabilizer) & once these are stalled, the engine torque makes it snap roll to the left, because the prop drag is trying to stop, the prop, & have the fuselage spin or just using too much elevator, causing the same thing.
