Trying to get some good sense and safety incorporated into an event here. Does anyone know of a currently available commercial made shut-off. I thought MBS had one but it's not shown in their catalog.

Thanks

Ken

THANKS!

Do you have a contact #?

home made isn't what I'm looking for although I have always made my own as well. I want one that anyone can go purchase. I thought that was clear in my request. So far, Brodak seems to be the only one?

Thanks

This shutoff is very simple and trouble free. I sell the bent wire for $1.00. The other part is a modified 1/2A control horn. It only takes a couple of minutes with a Dremel cutoff wheel to make.

Ken, you are welcome to use/ reproduce any of the above images. Good luck with your proposal.

The shutoff trips with down elevator. If the control system is on the outboard side of the plane, the elevator horn should be mounted on top of the elevator. The shutoff cable can either connect to the horn or the pushrod. If the controls are on the inboard side of the plane, the easiest thing is to just mount another control horn on the top of the outboard elevator.

Thanks Norm. I had completely forgotten about Foremost. I brings back nightmares of the years we spent trying to make shut-off's for fast combat.

I'm confused.  Is this about buying, making, or a rules change proposal?

If it's a rules change, what is it?  If it's requiring shutoffs on ALL racers, it won't bother me, but it will squeeze out some others.

The merits of shutoff in Combat can be defended, but the rule squeezed out so participation.

I bought some Russian F2A shutoffs.  Good workmanship.  But like all store-bought shutoffs, you need to engineer the model to fit the shutoff.
