   The company 360 at Lancair has the 1) momentary down, 2) neutral, 3) lock-up
switch that Skip mentioned.  My switch is the spring loaded momentary in both
directions (with a slab of aluminum shaped like a flap and threaded onto the
toggle handle).  When I took my instruction with Doug in Redmond, on one of the
approaches I put the flaps down and then adjusted them up a little.  On the
ground I discovered they had "adjusted" all the way up.  Not a bad landing, but
I was concerned that I hadn't really been in control.  I decided I preferred the
"positive" control.
