Default RE: DL-50 engine

I don't know if I would recommend that... people's ability to solder varies greatly, and if the butterfly "solder plug" was ingested, it could seize the engine. Also what would that do to the slow idle?

It might be better to put a servo on the choke and starve the engine that way. Another method would be to put a servo on the ignition switch or use an electronic switch from the radio.

Just solder the hole in the butterfly valve and you can kill it every time it is fully closed.
