5. All engines must be able to be shut off from the transmitter by either a servo operated kill switch or
by closing the carburetor. All aircraft with ignition engines must have a manual emergency ignition
kill switch visibly mounted on the exterior of the aircraft.
7. For powered models, a fail-safe system must be used to retard the throttle in the event of
control interruption. For sailplanes/gliders, a failsafe setting must be used that fully
deploys the normal landing mode settings
8. An engine shut-off system, operable from the transmitter, in addition to normal throttlekill
ability is required.
I like what I read...... It is nice to see what others are thinking, without getting hammered on about my thoughts! Keep it up!
That is why this site is number one in my books!!We don't do that here.........there is another site that will provide all of that you care to deal with. This site seems to be pretty good about members respecting others opinions on a topic without trashing their point of view.
The first large event I attended had an instance where one would have been very beneficial. "Skippy" was flying his OV 4 Bronco with twin DLE30's. The throttle got stuck and instead of flying until it died, he tried to land. On landing one of the engines died and the one away from the pits stayed running at a high speed. The plane proceeded to go right towards the pits and ended up hitting some planes and tables. A kill switch would have saved a couple of planes that day.I like what I read......
