If you ever hit a bird and broke a prop, you would install a cable from 
the engine to the firewall.

  Hello Kitfoxers,

  Has anyone ever heard of an engine completely departing from a Kitfox 
in flight?  Has there ever been an actual case of a cable restraint 
system proven in preventing this event?  Is employing a cable restraint 
system a practical effort or a needless worry?
