Default RE: Another "Fail safe" manufacturer to add...

I'm gonna show a bit of ignorance here, but do all ECUs have failsafe programing built in? I mean this is no big deal for the Jetcats and other newer engines, but has anyone considered all the older, but still very flight worthy turbines that don't have this feature?

By January 1, 2005, all radios must be equipped with fail safe and ECUs shall be configured to shutdown the engine within 2 seconds of fail safe activation.
The way I read this, if your ECU can't be programmed, your grounded on 1/1/05. Hopefully I'm reading this wrong.
