I had a hitec 225 die on the throttle of my DA50 in my 2.3,this was at full noise in a vertical upline.Luckily i was running a fibre optic kill switch and was able to cut the engine in a suitable position to land without any dramas.A mate of minealso had a throttle servo let go on his ZDZ80.Vibration from gas engines can really kill some servos.

Let me get this straight....
The kill switch is used to turn off the engine if (an only if [X(]) the throttle servo goes haywire...
IMHO and in the few years in the hobby I would guess that the posibilities of this scenario are low compared to other scenarios such as
dead battery, frequency problems or interference, radio glitches.
So...
Is the kill swith any good in the above mentioned cases?
