Seems like I was hearing about fuel shut-offs some 20 years ago. I thought they were a good idea back then, and now that I'm coming back to Control Line once again, I still think they're a good idea.
But after 20 years, one would think the technology would have matured by now. From what I read, some people are still not convinced they work as needed. Problems of arming, launching, brief loss of line tension, flyaways, and on-demand shutdown should be easily solved given modern miniature electronics.
Now, I'm no whiz-bang electronic guru, but I know there are small transmitters which will activate a device at short distances. I use one to get in and out of my car every day. So why hasn't someone adapted this stuff to pinch a fuel line? No need to maintain line tension, no need to sense G forces, simply push the button to cut off fuel. Put it on a carabiner and hang it off a belt loop. Or build it into the handle. It could even have a flip cover to prevent accidental bumping. If you want to get really fancy, include a limited range, which, if exceeded, actuates the shut-off.
I must be thinking too simplistically, because if it were that easy someone would have done it by now.
There are a bunch of smart guys reading these forums, at least one of you can cobble up a lightweight, reliable shut-off. Seems like there would be a market for something like this.
