Could someone enlighten me as to the need for optical kill switches? I can kill my engine in flight or on the ground by closing the throttle all the way and if that should fail I could use my choke servo. Even if I didn't have the ability to close the trottle all the way or the choke servo I still see no problem. I removed the 24 ounce tank and installed a 16 ounce tank it's place, so breaking a throttle arm and having to fly forever is no issue either. I've been flying for 20 yrs and have never had a throttle linkage break yet. What's the deal?
I can kill mind with choke or throttle so i have no need for kill switch thats just anyother thing to go worry and kept you from starting up is the way i see it. good luck
