Hope this helps.

(1) he has a secret spot back behind the cockpit about =BE of the way up the fuselage (where no magnetic field matters) where he slides his hand up) on mounting the wing. On his hand is secreted a magnetic ring. Inside sits a magnetic slide release which permits the door handle to open. (2) He uses a racing car emergency cut-off switch (to close the battery circuit) which sits on the firewall. He cut a 1/2inch hole up in the corner of the instru panel which permits entry of a wooden rod that emulates the switch key.He figures nobody will have the nouse to work out the system, and all he needs is an 8=94 wooden rod and a magnetic ring, I dunno Ferg. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:47:23 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

The crowbar ov protection technique is somewhat predicated on FAST breakers . . . like the miniature Klixon/Mechanical Products devices popular in aircraft. The likelihood of this device ever being called upon to do its job is small. Consider a plain- vanilla switch combined with a 5A fuse in a fuse holder. Since this device will only have to work while on the ground, having a box of spare fuses taped to the inside of the fuselage for spares does not present a big operational/maintenance issue. Alternatively, a miniature breaker on a bracket, readily accessible on the ground combined the plain-vanilla switch is another option that does not ignore original design goals for the crowbar style protection system. The automotive breakers cited earlier are REALLY slow . . .
