<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#0000ff>IMHO, when said
video is finished it has to show an accurate fair showing of the different
visual images that are acceptable and possibly what's not so as to not slight
those whose planes do a proper maneuver but visually appears different. E.G.
Bipe vs. Low wing vs. 60 sized model.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Thanks, Tony, I had wondered about what had happened. A
video like this could be very beneficial, but could also be hard to
produce. Another organization of which I was a board member, had a
commercial company video a judges seminar, and a field session of
flying. The tape cost the organization $500, and was nearly
worthless. Lesson learned. <BR>I hope a tape of parallel quality to
the existing NSRCA tape on judging, can be produced.

seems to me that the NSRCA was working on a spin/snaproll video last
year. It mad a splash on this group, and then faded into
oblivion. Anybody remember it? Or know what happened to it?

<FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>I agree with you. That's why I think a
video will help all of us to understand the discussed issues better. I
hope that there will be more than one video clip.The main thing I
would like to here comments about is the amount of attitude change
needed during the snap. Obviously the airplane must be stalled but no
one is flying with AOA sensor on board so the pilot and the judges
have to estimate the stall visually. I am interested to see what they
expect and how they estimate it.Mike</FONT></FONT>

Re:Snaps</DIV> <FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>Hi all,Very
interesting discussion on a very important issue. As Earl
mentioned sometimes a good snap is misjudged because we are used
to see the bad one. I think so too. Most of the judges expect too
much attitude change and score zero for snaps with small attitude
change because they consider it as an axial roll.Maybe someone
could post a short video that demonstrate how a real 1 1/2 snap
should look like.Mike
