Hi Bodyworks
Thanks for your input here.
I take your point about flying it manually but I'm guessing you use mixes from time to time even if it's only a bit of rudder input for knife edge or something right!
I'm not looking for the plane to fly itself without any input from my thumbs, I'm just experimenting with what I consider to be a cool facility on my transmitter.
Ever accidentally flipped a switch on your transmitter? I've accidentally hit rate switches, timer switches and even a choke switch that caused a dead stick. If any of those switches had been a snap roll switch, I'd have crashed because it is something you need to be prepared for. Accidentally hitting a snap roll switch at a slow speed will most likely put the plane in an awkward position and while your brain is trying to figure out what just happened "First thought is radio hit" your plane could be plummeting to the ground.

Learn to snap with your own input, don't leave it up to chance.
