<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Visually, there is a range of snaps that
look good and are OK. There is a barrel-roll which obviously blows out,
versus a tight snap. Easiest zero to handout. In the blink of an
eye, easy to identify as barrel-roll and zero. An impression is left instantly
that says, "that is not a snap."</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I think the problem judging is determining
the difference between a tight fast snap, and an ultra fast aileron roll with a
tail wiggle. Not easy to determine. This may sound simple, but if I
have to think twice about weather it was a great looking tight snap, or a fast
aileron tail wiggle, it gets a downgrade and not a zero. The speed change
is a big help to me. If I can see a speed change, it helps to determine
it a snap. If the maneuver is flown through with no speed change, it is
harder to call a snap. </span></font></p>

everyone on the same page? Even the judges at the Worlds disagreed on this.
When I'm judging and flying I know a good snap from a bad one but I'll be
damned if I can explain it. I just feel I know it. Mike<br>
