A suggested safety switch for dual engine models.

It prevents ground loops on takeoff.

An alternative would be a lever that ties the throttle arms together until you mechanically disengage it.  That way you don't have a 'bump' in the throttle setting of the 'off' engine when you flip the switch.

Kinda like how tractor steering brakes work, for those of you who've driven with them.

Clancy Arnold:
After a discussion of the effect of the Throttle End Points on the operation of Electronic Speed Control (ESC) for electric powered models the attached circuit changes were recommended.

I have also included how to add an Engine Kill Switch for I.C. Engines only.
