Default RE: Kill Switch

ORIGINAL: Firewalkerd1

Gang doing by first gasser. Is it recommended to put a servo activated kill switch in the planes along with a toggle switch. I was planning to use a radio shack micro switch with a small servo in the plane along with a mini toggle in the engine compartment. Is this over kill? I here some fields require the radio kill system. What kind of problems will I have if any? Need help!!!!!!!!
Yes you need TWO ways to kill the engine. The first is the power switch to your ignition battery that is manually operated. The second can be the fiber optic switch(mine works fine) or I have seen a servo to the choke or a separate kill switch that is servo triggered either set to a switch on your Tx.
