Thanks, guys. I checked the Futaba 7C manual - my 7C is on it's way - just now and it does have the TH-CUT feature which stops the engine by flipping a switch at idle. It says when the throttle is up the switch can't accidentally cut the engine - it only works at low throttle settings. Cool.

Yeah that's what the manual for my 6ex says too, but my throttle cut will work even if the throttle stick is at full throttle. [>:] If you don't set up your radio right and it won't kill it, there is a neat way of grabbing the spinner to kill it. I would suggest having someone experienced show you first, then maybe practice it later. It's a little scary.
We had a guy try that a few months back, 14 stitches later he decided not to try that again.
