Default RE: HOW-To..3D maneuvers

Yes i thought when i first looked at the manouvere that its basically a negative left snap roll as the inputs are very similar, but its really not. The key difference is that you are using full down on the elevator and entry airspeed is critical tso that there is enough momentum to get the tail to rotate in front of the nose through the line of flight. Clearly if this happens it is NOT a snap roll. In a snap roll generally you are using only a hint of elevator , neg or pos, and only using it at entry into the manouvere then releasing as soon as rotation starts. As Mike points out early in teh tutorial the snap is not as many have been taught a simple sticks in teh corners manouvere there is a lot more to it than that and using full deflections on all surfaces usually produces a rather ugly, over deep and difficult to control snap.
