Re: Snap Rolls... I've been wrong all this time..
The next time I get out to practice the Unlimited sequence I'll try using just elevator and rudder only on the pull to vertical, two positive snaps up. Should end up all jacked up and get me a zero to boot.

No. No set up for snaps.
My rate I fly around on is set up to do everything I need including snaps. The only time I change anything is for Hammerheads and rollers. I use a slightly higher rudder rate for that. The models we fly have such comparably lighter wing loadings than a full scale plane that aileron is a must with rudder and elevator. |

Re: Snap Rolls... I've been wrong all this time..
A fair percentage of our giant aerobats will indeed execute a very respectable snap using only the elevators and rudder. All it takes is the right amount of deflection and timing. Some of the larger Yaks and Sukhois can do a pretty nice full snap using rudder alone. It's not about how fast the plane rotates, but in what manner and the accurracy of the maneuver.
If you want it super fast and tight then use the ailerons as well. Personally I prefer to use all of the controls but I've been quite surprised and successful using only the two used in full scale with my models. |

My old Zlin 526 use to do very predictable 1/2 snap, from straight and level pull back elevator quick and you got 1/2 snap without rudder imput.
I have video from World Aerobatic Championships where you can see on cockpit cam the pilot movement in snap with Sukhoi. Stick back and instantly over in the corner, what is that mean?????, yes aileron. |
