Default RE: Shutting down the engine

In the "bad ol days" I used to set the engine to idle ar the uppermost trim setting with the throttle stick bottomed out. Then I could thumb down the throttle to kill it and had a low idle for landing in between.

Now I have a low idle switch and a kill switch. Ah, technology.
