Electronic engine kill device should be mandatory in my opinion. I have one installed in each of my 3 petrol powered comp r planes.

This is the unit we use in our Giant Scale Race Planes with Zenoah GT-80's: http://rcatsystems.com/electronics/rc100.php It's very small and light and works perfectly every time. Most of us just use the standard RC-100 and have had no radio issues at all. But they do make a fiber-optic vesion as you see in this link. |

| Re: electronic kill switch, yes or no
Tom, I have the same airplane, with a BME 50 and the Smart-Kill unit. It paid for itself the other day when my throttle linkage worked itself loose off of the engine throttle arm. I had just taken off, with a full bag of fuel. I did a vertical snap, throttled back up, and... nothing. No throttle response. The engine was at just above idle, too fast to land without doing damage once I ran off the end of the runway. Without the on-board kill, I would have to had fly around for however long it takes to burn 24 ounces at low throttle; and that's assuming my receiver battery didn't give out first. As it was, I tooled once around the pattern, set up an approach, and flipped the kill switch when over the threshhold. Its cheap insurance, Tom. Get one. |

IMO the RCAT100 is very good unit without the fiber optic hooplah. Its a sealed shockproof unit very small and not an open circuitboard.
