I kill the fuel pumps.  Shut ignition off after engine dies. 
I used to just kill ignition, but saw fuel drip a few times out of the throttle body, before I had the intake tubing hooked up.  Shutting off the fuel pump, and letting it run out of fuel, solved that problem.

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
