[NSRCA-discussion] Arming plug and Failsafe +

[Ron Hansen]

How do I know they have their fail safe activated and that it works?

 

In my case the switch was not on the outside anyway but that isn't the
point.

 

I have a Power Systems on/off switch on the outside and an arming plug.
Many pilots don't know how to use the Power Systems on/off switches so I
would have to replace mine with a standard toggle type on/off switch and
then I would need a regulator.  Everyone knows how to use an external arming
plug.

True, but the 'safety' would have been 'on' and Ron could have left the
plane (aimed away from anyone) and gone on his way.

If the plane had an external on/off Rx switch, that could have been turned
off.

I want to give a real work example of why I like a physical external
disconnects like an arming switch or equivalent.  This weekend at Muncie I
was returning to my judging chair when a plane landed a little long.  I was
closest to the plane and I decided to flag the plane down for the caller to
give the older caller (VerneJ) a little hand.  I carried the plane to the
runway grass edge.  This plane did not have an external disconnect and I
don't open other people's canopies so I had to wait until Verne got to the
plane before I could walk away.  If it had an external disconnect I would
have disarmed the plane.  Pulling an arming plug or disconnecting the
external wires is easy and quick.  If the pilot had some sort of throttle
hold or some other solution how would I know that?
