In my opinion it's so much easier to fly them with the sticks. They present better IMO. Take for instance the 45 down, 1 1/2 snap. Using a switch I see people way steeper than 45 as they let off the switch. Why? Because the up ele is still held until the last second.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Switches don't make you a top pilot.

The sticks override the positions commanded by the snap switch. Works very well.</div><div><br></div><div>Jim O</div></body></html>
