Hi Mike,

I've been reading an article you wrote some time ago about learning to unload snaps to make them look better and loose less energy. My problem is my level positive snaps always come out on an upline. I never hit the same level heading no matter what I do.

What's the magic here?

Thanks,

Steve

Are you unloading all of the up elevator? Sounds like your either doing that, or are showing way too much pitch break before the rotation.

I am unloading all of the up elevator by making the check mark with the stick as I bring in full aeleron and rudder. I thought that was the proper technique?

Thanks,

Steve

The technique is correct. It could be a timing issue, or an airplane set up issue. How much elevator throw do you have at fluu stick? You may just be pitching the nose too far before the rotation.
