<DIV> Steve I'm sure you know me well enough to know that I just brought up the subject because of the incredible confusion. I remember you telling me about that contest. The point about the break is what so many strugle with. You have to be going pretty slow to have a definite break that doesn't also cause too large of a devaition from the maneuvers flight path. I'm absolutly sure that I know what a well executed snap looks like. I am also just as sure that there are too many that don't. Later, Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Patternrules@aol.com</I></B> wrote:

<DIV><STRONG> Mike as Tony said good for you, the more that start judging the snaps right the more everyone will have to do them right, I was at a contest last year and was told because I was pitching before the snap that I was really being downgraded, I, wish basically told him that was the way it is written in the rule book and that was the way I was going to fly it, this is copied straight from the rule book, <FONT color=#ff0000>Since the maneuver is defined as a stall maneuver<BR>(initiated by a rapid stall of the wing induced<BR>by a change in pitch attitude).</FONT> Sounds pretty straight forward to me.<BR> </STRONG></DIV>
