Default HELP!

Anyone know of a source for an "Onboard, TX controlled, E-switch" for shutting down a magneto ignition engine?---I use "Jomar" E-switches on my battery ignitions, but they don't work with magneto systems---I have been told they don't like AC voltage---All I know is that they keep the mag shut/down circuit grounded all the time, no matter the switch position---
Thanks
Ed

Seems like a small micro switch glued on the top of a servo triggered by a round servo wheel ground to a cam would work to ground out the mag..It worked on RC assist free flights years ago to open the battery circuit....
