FWIW Peter, this is the response I got from Emcotec to my questions.

Dear Bill

1)If plane is flying what happens if the SPS unit stops working 
correctly? Will power still be connected to the motor from the battery??

*A: If the MosFet gets open then it will turn off.*


2) Is there any way that once the battery is connected to the SPS and 
prior to removing the magnetic plug that something can happen to the SPS 
unit that will result in power be passed to the ESC/motor?


*A: If you not swich on it will stay off. If is failed it cannot turn on. *

Ich hoffe, ich konnte Ihnen behilflich sein und verbleibe mit 
freundlichen Grüßen
