" I want to kill all electrics in the flare prior
to a crash landing"
consider this:
would you like to still have an operative stall
warner, gear warnings and other electric safety
equipments you have got used to have?
would you still like to try to restart your
engine?
What I did was I have two master switches: one
(mechanical one) is for a total black-out and
second one (a switch with a little and light 40
amperes relay) leaves all the safety equipments,
starter, clocks, Dynon recharging and theft alarm
operative.
Normally after a flight I use last one and first
one only during long off-season periods.
Before possible emergency landing I have a plan to
use last one but if I assume all The Hope has
gone, I will use just before crash first one which
will cut everything.
That is of course if I have time to do that or
even remember to do that...
