Snap Switch

[Patternrules at aol.com]

 Yes, snap switches can be deadly I got back in pattern in 2000 and my second 
plane was a Tai-Jai with retracts I had setup the snap switch, after only 
having maybe 10 flights on the plane I was on final and reached for the retract 
switch, and by now you know where this is going, yes hit the snap switch, 
luckily for me it done one perfect snap and I landed, needless to say my heart was 
racing, the funny thing is everyone thought I was a really impressive and bold 
pilot, as soon as I hit the kill switch, the next thing I done was inhibit 
the snap switch and have never used it again, something I do like to do is use 
the snap switch to set just elevators or ailerons to check rolls or loops that 
way I know I'm not holding another input in and that the plane is flying 
right.but as soon as test are done it goes right back to inhibit.
