<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hmm, let me see...well, if it has tons
of rudder-roll coupling(or whatever is the correct term for rudder application
resulting in a bank, like many trainers have, which in turn requires lots of
opposite aileron in stall turns), you captured the spirit of it for sure,
especially grins and laughs from your buddies, cool! If there was a snap in the
sequence, did your Cub snap or sashay?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Er, what is IMAC free? Freestyle? That
means you get to make up your own sequence?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would a Hanger9 Cub with a Saito 56 count as a

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

much 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>
