Default RE: Kill switch question

{General Editorial Observation - not targeted at anyone} - I've been in the hobby since the 60's.....running all sorts of glow engines, up to the big Supertigres....and until I ran gas engines, it NEVER, EVER, occured to me that a "kill switch" on them would be a good thing. Mechanical failures, pushrods, servos, mounts, etc. all pose the same risks as gassers. Yet, in the Gasser realm - and I include myself in this - I would not even THINKof running one without a radio-controlled, transmitter-based Kill device. Wonder how come we never felt so strongly about this on glow? A YS 140 with a 17" prop could cleave a LOTof meat....
