Last sunday we had a local F2d competition in Holland I was operating as a center circle marshal There was a mid air collision between Fred Meijer and Bert Gijsbertsen Both models used my shut-off One model flew in the direction of the center of the circle, the engine still running full power. The engine stopped at about 5 meters distance from the center. It touched the ground 3 meters behind my back. I never could have imagined to see the first time the shut-off was operating, from so close :-) Kind regards, Jacco
