I wasn't dis-agreeing with Phillip either, but this thread is looooong. I would have used a quote, but I really don't see the need to propagate erroneous information. I know, in an ideal world the mag switch works as advertised, the engine does shut down without enough fuel to fire one more time and everything is wine and roses. And I understand where he's coming from, it's supposed to be safe, but it isn't and that's really all there is too it.

As far as the engine starting without an igniter or when you put the igniter on, when the non ignitor thing happens to your Fox 35, man that is suprising. I'm more used to it pushing the piston back when it is overprimed and spitting burning fuel onto the ground, your plane, yourself. You wonder why the paint is blistering on the nose of your Goodyear and also why your hand is getting hot. If you're in the middle of a Foxberg race and have just doused the engine with fuel to cool it off a bit, then you're really in for some fun. You can't see the flames, but man are they there.
