The positioning of the 3-position switch on all cheaper commercial radios is lousy. At least with JR/Graupner MC-18/20/24s and Multiplex 3030/4000s you can position any switch where is feels most comfortable. Better still (if you can get used to flying with fingers AND thumbs - which I cannot) you can mount the switch on the end of the stick.

Yes, you don't move it until near the top, but why would you want to take your hand off the stick at ANY point in the launch, if you didn't have to....I have an 8u, and didn't feel comfortable doing it, but I CAN if I have to.......but I'd rather not have to. I presume that the guys in competition would feel so even more, as to a great extent, the best launches (and landings) win the contests.
