Hi Todd,
 
You've gotta stop working so hard and play a bit - get back to flying, no snow, freezing rain, wind-chill, etc, so now's the time to do it{:>).
 
OK, always got to be one or two in the group.  So basically, you turn off everything with the key, fuel pump, EC2 and injectors - well, that should do it OK.
 
Good to hear from you, was beginning to wonder if you had headed up to North Country - I mean way up North.
 
Ed

Hi Ed;
    Ok, I just gotta be different. I just use the key switch to shut down. This removes power from the bus that feeds the injectors, ignition, EC2 & fuel pumps immediately. Engine shuts down instantly just like an auto, never had a problem using this method. In case anyone would point out the single mode failure, etc of this, I should also add that I have these items fed from my critical system/endurance buss so this switch can be bypassed.

Todd      (still using a stock turbo with no problems) (ok, so I don't actually have time to fly anymore, but I didn't have any problems, when I used to fly before I had a kid :-)

 Yippee!  ,  err......urmp... I mean we now have two more respondents - with their preference for engine shut down.  I know I had decided to stop the survey - but, how could I when one of the latest respondents also uses the disable switch {:>)

 Ok, heard from two  more, the count now is  out of 11 respondents (including yours truly), it looks like the methods of engine shut down are:
 
9 - turn off fuel pump
 
2- Disable injector
 
(can't remember whether I counted Rusty, then concluded he didn't count anyhow {:>)
 
 
 Clearly fuel pump shut-off is the method preferred by the majority and I don't think further respondents is going to change that to any meaningful degree.
