So I have started trying to perfect my snap rolls. Timing seems to be one of the most important parts. It looks like I have my work cut out, but I guess practice makes perfect. Well make that practicing with the correct technique.
So here is my first question. When executing a positive half-snap on a 45 degree up-line, how do you keep a constant heading through the entire snap? My half-snaps always end off heading about 20 degree toward the direction of rotation.
Second question. When trying to execute a series of snap rolls I can only get about two full rotations before the snap looses energy and gets "buried". I am unloading most of the back pressure on the stick. After reviewing my flight video I noticed that I am subconsciously adding and sustaining pro-rotation aileron through the snap. Is that causing the snap to get "buried".
Thanks in advance for any input!
