[NSRCA-discussion] Arming Device for electric airplanes

[Peter Vogel]

Maybe not (though it is FAR more likely, especially if they armed it, which is what I always have my callers (who are sometimes sportsman pilots) do).  Further, even if they don't, People in the pits can SEE that it is still armed, which is PART OF THE POINT.

Except the unfamiliar/inexperienced caller would probably not remove the arming plug either . . .

 Among our challenges to follow a
 procedure ....    Plane lands,
 flight is complete.   While a
 helper/ caller, perhaps unfamiliar with that
 specific airplane, retrieves it from the runway, the
 pilot gets involved in a conversation - how flight went,
 that he is needed to judge, to call for someone, else,
 etc.  Similar items may be pulling on the
 helper/caller.  Plane now sits where?  For how
 long?  And is disarmed?   A clearly
 visible arming plug would be a big help.

 Well, I am going to
 chime in with my experience. I use the Arm-safe. I have over
 1000+ flights on airplanes with this system and it has been
 bulletproof. I know there are thoughts about single points
 of failure etc etc. But here's my experience.. I have
 never seen an arming system fail, but I have seen countless
 airplanes go careening off into fences and fields because
 the pilot forgot to deactivate his/her airplane. I am
 entirely supportive of an arming rule that requires a hard
 disconnect of the airplane.
