ram - not picking on you - please don't misinterpret....
Many of us HARP every chance we can about the necessity of a TX-actuated kill device on a gasser. It is beyond my understanding why ANYONE, for ANY reason, would want to run one of these reaper-bladed-paint-shakers without such a fundamental safety device. This isn't about perofrmance - but SAFETY.
No worries Bob. I've been married 35 years. I don't get offended easily anymore.
I have flown gas since the late 80s and never had radio controlled kill switches till I tried that optic isolator this year. All those years, we never wanted to combine the two systems for fear of radio interference. A problem that is rapidly going away with 2.4 systems more widely used. I, however, have not made the jump yet. Till I do, these optic isolators will probably be in more of my aircraft. It would have helped my in this incident for sure. I have had radio chokes on some, but unfortunately, not this Yak. That would have done the trick as well.
