Default RE: 2 death 4 wounded in model airplane crash

The funny thing is, when I range check my plane, with the engine running (PPM) I walk
until things start to chatter, and the engine quits right away sometimes... as the receiver gets
bad frames, it only takes one frame where the engine run channel goes to the stop engine... and
the engine quits... Also.. If I turn the transmitter off... The turbines quits right away.. A sec or less...
If the AMT ECU quits getting frames it shuts down really fast... The IPD system with multiplex is very
similar. Something to think about... I don't think if anyone will change back to PPM because it requires
less expensive radio gear...
