<DIV>That's exactly it. You program the throw and direction of your rudder, elevator, and ailerons. In practice I have found "flying" the manuever with the sticks to be better than using a snap switch. It lets you independantly release the surfaces, resulting in a cleaner exit. That's how the best of the best finish an avalanche or a downline snap with the plane in the correct orientation. Like everything else, it takes practice. I do use a rate switch to change throws for snaps and spins.</DIV>

<DIV>And as Buddy experienced, the snap switch can be deadly if triggered at the wrong moment. </DIV>
