I'll cop to a few "humorous moments" as they are some of my fonder memories from RC competition. However.....switch flipping is an integral part of aviating. The aircraft does not know what flight mode is desired at a given moment. Pulling down a flap stick (still necessary for landing even with a Stylus) is a way of reconfiguring the aircraft for a different phase of flight. The switch was to allow the flap stick to fulfill two different functions with one control. Of course this is possible with the Stylus, but requires a master's degree in computer programming, judging by the ratio of estoteric Stylus questions to 8103 questions on this exchange.
My choice of the 8103 was driven by lighter weight, lower cost, and longer battery life. The fact that many of my pals were having programming difficulty with the Stylus at the time was also a factor. Fondle everybody's radio, ask lots of questions......and then buy what YOU like.
