Default Fiber optic Kill switch

No problem at all....

Unless your throttle servo goes bad. Imagine a 1/2 throttle flight for 45-60 minutes and your receiver battery is running low...

That's how I have my Edge w/ ZDZ80 setup now, but like the other guys have said, it sure is nice to have the ability to instantly switch off the power.

Should th eabove situation happen, you judge where you need to be for a decent glide path to the runway, and hit the kill switch... dead stick it in.

I've heard of guys having their planes get away on the ground, and those that have started their planes without the receiver on... throttles midrange or full... not pretty...

This item will NOT pass juice if the receiver is off... another aspect of safety...


I REALLY would like to get one, and now that I've heard several positive remarks, I might just do that...
