Listen,

All you have to do is install a remote ignition cuttoff switch. Then when you hear a plane start up, head out that way. At this point, if it is yours, you have 3 choices,
1. shut is off asap before they get off the ground
2. wait until they are high enough so they can circle and glide back and then shut it off
3. shut if off just at the end of the runway and the ******* will crash and burn, then call your insurance agency.

Teach them a lesson.........Good Luck:lol:

you don't know planes' ignition systems obviously. And the FAA doesn't approve them, add ons to disable.
it only works if you are flying an experimental with an automotive type motor. the QTY of those in then fleet don't add up to richard diddley.
and the druggies don't steal home builts.

a few guys have rigged hidden kill switches, they are manual but still illegal per FARs.

i have a friend with a HIGHLY desireable turbo C 210 the druggies love. He pulls jhis front wheel when he parks in mexico. Seems to work..........:biggrin::biggrin:

I used to sleep under the left side wing, next to the door when I parked at a remote strip.
Not sure how well that would go over at LaPaz or the busy strips, but it worked whenever we grounded for the night on race pre-runs.
