I enjoy different opinions, but on this one, I have to say that NOT HAVING some kind of transmitter-operated definite KILL method is a BAD choice. If a person doesn't want to buy the Fromeco (or other) type of switch, fine, but then HOOK UP A CHOKE SERVO. We simply MUST have a separate method of killing these things besides the throttle while they are airborne.
It has never been "dictated", but I don't know why anyone would NOT do this.....
Just my opinion, of course.
BTW - those here that are using the DX 7 Spektrum - I've just posted a page on my website about the DX 7 and will update it frequently.
