[NSRCA-discussion] Noxville Contest??

[Scott Anderson]

Dean,

Please send some pics...
Lamar Blair has a neat item used from the car guys... It is a blade type connector and the female part is in the side of the fuse, so he hooks everything up and just prior to flight plugs in the male blade (aka sparky) and then there is power. At end the caller just removes that part and plane is safe..
I have some pics of it and also Troy N. safety item , watch for the K-factor article..

  I just received a first production item of a simple safety item called the JoneSwitch. It is a convenient deadman switch that screws into the side of your electric plane.
  Look to see releases in at least several magazines. Now you can walk out to the runway before arming your electric system.
  all the best,
  Dean

    Electrics IMHO are way more dangerous than IC engines. I have a $35,000 right arm to prove it. Had one spontaneously start on me at the field while my  forearm was in the way. Chewed through my forearm clear to the bone, severing my artery, muscle, and ulnar nerve. Very messy. Took 2 years of surgury and therapy before I could fly again. Electric motors are more serious in that they draw more amps if they are impeded, in effect they try "harder" to overcome the force opposing it, like thumbs, fingers, and arms. Still fly electrics, but treat them very differently now......

      I have seen a few electrics majicaly start unattended and thankfully no fingers or arms were in the way. Both engines and motors are dangerous.

      And I do have some smaller electrics.

        Another reason to go electric.

          I have an $8000 left thumb. They installed a couple of options while they were rebuilding. It warns of weather changes and also serves as an alarm clock (sometimes).

          I recommended that a student headed for a pro basket ball career give up RC until the career was behind him.

            About two years ago I got my finger in one It cut the right index finger off at the first joint. Wrapped the finger in a towel went to the hospital with the severed finger, three month's and $6000.00 later it was almost as good as new except it is still numb on the end. APC's show no mercy.
