I was the recipient of a non-existent problem when a buddy’s plane plowed through my plane I the pits. A young man in the pits started to grab the plane and decided, fortunately, not to do so. What caused this? There was 3 specific issues. A - The fail safe was not set properly and the Tx was turned off causing the motor to rev up. B - There was no external arming plug to pull immediately after the plane landed thereby disconnecting the power source and preventing A; and C, we as a group, did not ensure positive control of the airplane from the runway to the pit area. All things that our pattern group enforces now.</SPAN></P>

If all if them arrives to the same conclusion we will be in better shape if we just follow the intent of all codes you can find. Now try to find the specifics for a system similar to the one we have.

I am the senior electronics<BR>technician in the plasma physics department at the University of Wisconsin.<BR>About a third of what I do is make interlock circuits for the Madison<BR>Symmetric Torus. I know that the best way of keeping things safe is to<BR>remove the potential energy from a circuit to keep bad things from<BR>happening. The problem with depending on a circuit such as the emcotec type<BR>of disconnect or to just relying solely on the radio and ESC to keep things<BR>safe is failure modes. You can plan for all different failure types but to<BR>make it a circuit that isn't a lead brick being added to the plane there are<BR>compromises that have to be made. This leads to designing systems that may<BR>deal with only the most common types of failures. For example most common<BR>diodes and tantalum capacitors usually fail in a shorted mode, but not<BR>always. Many carbon resistors will decrease in résistance just prior to<BR>opening up. You get the idea, there are just so many possibilities and<BR>combinations that in my opinion the only real way to safe a power system is<BR>to disconnect the energy source. Ok, now I feel better that I said<BR>something.<BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>> David<BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>>>>>>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>>>>>>>>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>>>>>>>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>>>>>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>>>>>>>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>>>>>>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>>>>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>>>>>>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>>>>>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>> ________________________________<BR>>>>>>><BR>>>>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>>>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>>>>>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>>>>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>>>>><BR>>>>><BR>>>>><BR>>>>> --<BR>>>>> Vicente "Vince" Bortone<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>> --<BR>>>> Vicente "Vince" Bortone<BR>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>> <A href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target=_blank>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target=_blank>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</A><BR>
