    Turning off the transmitter before disarming/disconnecting the motor
    batteries is usually the result of a brain fart, not lack of

                                You just made my day. I do more or less
                                the same you do. I review a lot of
                                projects. Clearly will all here analyzed
                                the system and we know the steps could
                                be used to mitigate a possible
                                situation. That is the end of discussion
                                in cases like this. Just give me a real
                                possibility of tag in and tag out.<br>

                                Good research. Now you have to find what
                                is the code that applies to model
                                airplanes. I knew that there is no one
                                specific code. However existing codes
                                applies for similar systems. 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
                                already know the answer so I don't need
                                to ask our friend Google.<br>

                                    I'm not trying to bring up a sore
                                    subject but this has been<br>
                                    bugging me since it was up a while
                                    back. 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>
