<P class=MsoNormal>Dave, I wasn't saying an arming pin is mandatory, I've
had planes with and without (currently without for weight), though I much
prefer with. <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>My point (for everyone's consumption not only you) was to
be careful trusting the fail safe and the receiver power down
behavior because occasionally speed controls do malfunction. They
are definitely better now days, but far too often I see guys do
things that open the door for disaster (I'm not saying you're doing this),
and it's pretty scary. People just don't always appreciate the danger
involved. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>For example, I've seen guys finish a flight, turn off
their radio and walk to the pits, meanwhile the caller brings back plane and
sets it down in pits while pilot walks around talking for minutes with this
potentially live plane sitting there still armed. If everything works as it
should no one will get hurt, but the potential is there for
serious consequences. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal>Dave, you're points are correct, but you're not taking into
account a malfunction of the speed controller itself. They have been know to
malfunction, so the safest approach, as Earl suggests, is to assume that
anytime the battery is connected to the controller the motor may go to full
throttle. Until you unplug the battery the thing is hot and dangerous
regardless of your fail safe or switches on the
transmitter. <o:p></o:p></P>

<P style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"
class=MsoNormal>Regarding pulling the disconnect (whether under canopy or
via external arming pin), step over the model between wings and stab (just
like we used to run up the glow models) and reach down to pull the plug. If
it goes full throttle the back of your legs will stop forward
momentum.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
