<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two aircraft flying a straight line in perfect
wing abreast formation will be on the same heading, but displaced from each
other. Displacing the model from the line entering the snap can be
thought of in exactly the same way. At the end of the snap roll figure,
the model is displaced some distance from it's original line, but should
immediately resume a new line on the same heading. Displacement can be in
both the horizontal and vertical planes.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Okay someone please explain
this........</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>A "proper" snap
will change the aircraft's "heading/line". If the aircraft's
line is off 15 degrees it is a 1 point downgrade. These two things do
not mesh. It means there is no such thing as a 10 snap, unless the heading
change is less than 7.5 degrees for a 1/2 point down grade?<BR>If it is
impossible to score a 10, then maybe the wording needs to change to allow
for a heading/line change.<BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Principal

there a thing with snaps called Displacement, meaning as a break occurs to
initiate the snap, a slight change in aircraft position, will occur.
If this slight change in lateral movement doesn't take place than it
can be argued it wasn't a snap. Some may say heading changed but I'm
thinking that the heading and angle stay the same, just the entire event
shifts or displaces the plane laterally. What say the pilots in the know??
