Well, it IS just a throttle fail-safe after all. Not any worse than running out of fuel at an unexpected time or having a plug fail or having the engine quit for any other reason. So you dead stick. What's the problem with that? Yeah, it shouldn't be a requirement I agree except with a turbine but ???????
Who wants to buy 7 failsafes or switch out one for every plane when you want to fly it? Come on, seriously!
Nobody was implying that this was a GOOD thing. My point was that at least they weren't requiring the plane to self-destruct like some posters were describing above. Is it
BULL? You Betcha. And I mean that seriously.[:'(]
