I don't tune in often any more and I cannot remember when the last
time was that I actually worked at the Nat's BUT:<br>
When electric was still a novelty Marty Matthews wife was carrying
in his plane and he turned off the transmitter. It was a non-event
because she was on the ball and had a good grip on the plane when it
went to full throttle. I commented at the time "We need to fix that
before some one gets hurt bad". <br>
<br>
I have always felt all that would be necessary would be to require
that the pilot be prepared to demonstrate that turning off the
transmitter resulted in a motor shut down. At the Nat's the line
chief could check it as frequent as he felt it possible without
impacting the general operation.<br>
<br>
I am not aware of any ESC failures that result in running failures.
My ESC's usual fail mode results in smoke & fire. <br>
