Emergency Kill System

Being able to quickly shut off your motor is critical for any number of reasons. Kill switches are easily broken by any number of connection points breaking or coming loose. So it's good to have a back up.

One method is another electrical way to short out the coil, like the regular switch, but pilot Ken Morrison has come up with a novel method to accomplish the same thing.

The idea is incredibly simple, pull the spark plug off.

He rigged it for his non-throttle hand, just below and behind the J bar. , but it can be rigged for start up, next to the
hand hold. Take up enough slack as to not get in the prop. Yank the cord and pull the spark plug cap off . Cheap, simple, effective, and only takes about a minute to put together.

Thanks Ken for the suggestion.
