Not to hijack the thread or anything?

OK to completely hijack this thread, that is wrong. It is acceptable to unload a snap and is pretty much required for most snaps, particularly vertical. What can nail you is getting out of the rudder and "rolling out" the last part of a snap. Some fullscale planes will push down after starting the positive snap to really unload it.
