[NSRCA-discussion] Arming Switch

[Dave Lockhart]

Excellent idea.

I see myself doing a fair bit of reprogramming of the "kill switch" on my
setups.

Regards,

Dave

On anything I fly with an electric motor my default start up condition has
zero throttle curve, so even if the throttle stick gets moved nothing
happens. I have to flip a switch to allow the throttle to work. 
One more level of safety. I actually use one of the retractable rotary knobs
on my radios for this. Virtually impossible to accidentally move it.
