Has anyone got any suggestions what I could use as an emergency fuel stop in case I need a shutdown in flight.
Something like a deadman fuel stop, activated from a spare chanel.

If I remember correctly, there was an article in an old RCJI magazine with a FESTO manual shutoff-valve connected to a servo.

You could also use a solenoid like what RAM's use. I believe they fit in the JR receiver.
