Mike, my point is that "I did not know that I wasn't able to kill my engine during an emergency shut down"

Is not that I want to do it !! (I swear I don't ever want to... LOL)

I agree with you that there may be ways to program the radio in such a way that it does it. I will investigate.

But again, had I had an emergency with imminent crash, I would have set my throttle lever to idle and my throttle trim to minimum as I have been trained to do.... Just to discover that the engine didn't shut down, and a big ball of fire. And then run to the internet to blame the ECU or the radio... and people thinking that I didn't do the procedure.

I don't think that a procedure that requires lowering the gear first, is practical.. specially under a situation where you are scared to death...

I hope this clarifies my point: "If you are using idle up, you may not be aware that the shut down procedure won't work. Unless you knew it, and did a program for this purpose"

Thank you guys for allowing me to clarify what I consider very important.

Jack
