<DIV>What you say it true.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I have taken from this discussion:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) An arming plug is an externally visible indicator of "ready and dangerous".</DIV>
<DIV>2) Turning the rx off alone is not a completely safe condition, and less so AFTER a flight.</DIV>
<DIV>3) No safety measure is 100% infallible, simply due to human error.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regardless of how you render your aircraft safe, you still have to remember to do it!!! People will forget, and that unfortunately will happen regardless.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv907482501>Just how many airplanes have we seen fly out of caller's hands at contests? Is this a widespread problem, or just isolated to a couple contests? Why can't the caller maintain positive control of the airplane until the owner gets over to disconnect the battery? If the caller and/or pilot are that distracted after a flight, what is to keep them from forgetting to removing the arming plug? <BR><BR>I think this is a solution wandering around looking for a problem. If you can't remember to disconnect your battery as soon as possible after a flight and to only connect it just prior to flight then you won't remember to use your arming plug to perform the same functions.<BR clear=all><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table>
