<BODY style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"><STRONG> 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.</STRONG>
