<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hey, now, I'M the one who asked the
"big other one: what's a snap switch?" You just gave me a flame target on which
to throw the gasoline...I'm having a lot of fun doing that! And someone said it
was too quiet...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Seriously, I am learning a TON about
pattern with these discussions. Can't wait to get a plane that will actually do
a real snap. For the heck of it, you guys should try a snap with an
Avistar("advanced" trainer with a, hang on to your hats, semisymetrical wing,
whoa). Displaces about 15 feet, takes two corrections to get it back on the
line(easily over 15 degrees each way), the whole plane slows down during the
snap, THEN it tries to stall, and the whole time, I'm afraid I'll pull the wing
off the rubber bands. Well, if I do, then the wing "snaps" back, ha ha. For
kicks, sometimes the engine tries to quit. In fact, I don't think snap is the
right word, it's more like a sashay.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hee hee, just for grins, what do you
think about doing a prank pattern contest with the someone's 4 channel trainer?
No practice allowed, no adjustments to the plane, one pilot at a time, one
flight, and all the remaining pilots have to judge out loud with jeers. 1 point
downgrade each time you make the pilot crack up.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Keep up with the tips and the sense of
humor!</FONT></DIV>

discussion is stirred up due to mention of my recent dumb thumb activation of
my snap switch. Looks like just the mention of the switch brought forward
discussion which indicates the reality that in a lot of cases as I came to
believe a long time ago that scoring at many contest's is a crap shoot and the
best pilot doesn't necessarily win. So I build, practice, go to as many
contest's as I can and depend on the luck of the draw and hope that the judges
will do their best to score correctly. OH and last but not least even if the
scoring is not the best you get to meet old friends and have a good
time.<BR>Buddy</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
