I don't understand your question. I have done this myself, am I completely sure?

Did you mean to say you can activate the switches with one hand simultaneously? That is probably what the above commenter assumed you meant. Since lifting and twisting two switches simultaneously with one hand seems challenging.

  It didn't happen simultaneously so this is irrelevant.

    It is relevant to the interaction I replied to.

      You’re the only one who said “simultaneously.”

  Above commenter said _quickly_, not simultaneously

    Jesus... joey: Can you switch them quickly? snypher: You can do them with one hand. [Ed. This is ambiguous and could be read as "one hand, simultaneously". In fact, doing it with one hand non-simultaneously would be a weird claim to make of a simple knob. See also ajb's comment below.] zihotki: Really? They are not close together and have a spring mechanism. [Ed. Seems to believe snypher is claiming simultaneous operation.] snypher: I am confused by the response. Me: [Tries to facilitate clarification]

        Context is both these switches being turned off with a 1 second gap. Doing it with one hand simultaneously would possibly explain it, otherwise it doesn’t seem relevant.

        > Context is both these switches being turned off with a 1 second gap. Doing it with one hand simultaneously would possibly explain it It would. So would switching both quickly in succession. One second is a long time—I can adjust power, prop, fuel pump and flaps in about that time.

        What I gathered from comments here is it's not a simple flick of the switch and it actually takes some effort to turn them off. Can you really do it twice within the span of 1 second?
