Emergency shut down mod

[Jeff Miller]

I always carry a Halon and a foam by the engine, not sure the Halon
would be big enough for a wide-open 10.2liter engine or bigger still
the over 700cu-in Detroit. A lot of air will go through that engine at
high-rpms before it spools down to zero, better have enough Co2 for the
whole event. Go big is a good idea.

I'd side with a plate, might not shut it off completely but easier to
kill an idling engine with an extinguisher or whatever, and I won't
stand next to a runaway no matter what it's worth, forged rods come out
fast. That's why Randy says "then run away".

compartment. Had an injector pump fail in the FC a while back, when it
was inspected the tech said, "Lucky it didn't runaway", I nearly soiled
myself at the thought.
