Using a choke and servo to act as a kill switch is kinda OK[&:], but I think that it is better to use an opto kill or a servo/micro switch setup that will cause the ignition to cease. I have a Quadra 42 with magneto ignition in my Super Decathlon and I have a servo actuated micro switch + a fuselage mounted switch wired in parallel so that either can ground the coil and kill the ignition. I have a similar setup but wired in series with battery supply to the electronic ignition box of my Velox. I have an opto kill switch in my Ellipse 50. What is the "BEST" setup?? To me it is the setup that will reliably cause the engine to stop, whether on the ground or in the air. I hope that this helps, and does not create too much confusion.
I was flying this AM with my Velox and Super Decathlon. This was the first time for me this year with the Super D. When you bring them home in “One Piece” you have had a good day
Have fun with yours,

All the best
