Interestingly if you don't disarm the snap switch and actuate it and the sticks at the same time, the deflections appear additive and could potentially overdrive the servo (or your linkages if you have set a maximum deflection on the travel screen).

Malcolm......I never thought to check the snap screen settings to see if they were the same or similar to the AFR settings in the snap conditions.
I just checked on it....and they are different even though I set the snap conditions AFR with a digital inclinometer.
I don't know why the settings are not the same for equal deflections but there it is!
