Ed,
 
I shut down by turning off the fuel pumps.  The engine dies within a second of turning off the switch.

Chris mentioned he favored stopping his engine by turning off the fuel pumps, I turn mine off by killing the injector power switches.  But, this made me wonder how other folks stop their engines.  Might be interesting to know.
 
 
To everyone running a rotary engine and particularly flying with one - what is your normal method of killing the engine.
 
1.  Turning off Main Power
2.  Turning off EC2 Power
3.  Turning off ignition
4.  Turning off Fuel Pumps
5.  Turning off injectors
6.  Other
