Do you unload snaps with 50cc planes??
I loved your article on snaps but I'm having a little trouble unloading my 50cc airplane. Seems like the plane falls between a small nitro plane (no unloading) and a large plane. Actually, the plane snaps pretty well just "banging the sticks" simultaneously but it gets just a little too deep.
1) Do you unload 50cc sized planes the same way your article describes??
2) When snapping do you start by pulling straight back on the elevator stick (ie full up on low rate, no aileron) or do you pull slightly to the side (ie full up elevator and a little aileron)?
Keep those articles coming.

Absolutely. In fact I even unload "snaps" with faomies.
Yes, you pull straight back first then let the elevator out as the aileron is inout. Intial input is pure elevator. A lot of smaller glow models snap better when unloaded as well by the way. The ones that usualy wont do well when unloaded are they lightly loaded 3D type that unstall if you unload them.
Foamies are so lightly loaded thet they pretty much dont really stall at all, so the "snap" with a foamy I think if often really drived aroud with aileron.

It will become automatic pretty quickly. It dod for me. I am the opposite now. If I fly a model that I cant unload, I have a hard time not doing it. It fels as weird as unloading did when I started doing it.
