Blinded by the Light.
OK, NOW I understand.
MORE HP (and SPEED) is BETTER.
Wow ! There's a revelation from the Illiminati. We can be thankful for such edification from above. WHO would have thought ?
Those of you in the Aviation Elite ought to get together, publish a book and bring the word to those who didn't know.

Skeet, you should probably add:
Take off into the wind.

Jeeze, I really wish you guys would stop proposing all these ridiculous ways to prevent an airplane theft. The only thing you can do, unless you are
an A&P, are those maintenance things a pilot is allowed to do by the FAR's. That is not much. Probably the best is to remove the battery and take
it with you. That is legal. You cannot bolt on a hidden fuel shut off without getting a STC for the modification. Ever heard of vapor lock? You cannot
put in a hidden "kill switch". You cannot remove a propellar.
And like somebody else said, all they have to do is wait for you to preflight the plane and put a gun to your head.
No soy por ni contra apatía.

Yep, Lee------your right. I flew (right seat) the National Park Service's Turbo King Air from Grand Canyon to Phoenix, and then returned with a load
of folks---------what a BEAUTIFUL aircraft, both in looks and handling----a mini-airliner.

From my experiences I think it might save your plane, even through you may find a Thief who will be smart enough to figure it out and turn on the
Valve.
I recovered:{Stole} a Cessna 210 out of Navajoa some years back after the Original Bandits where shot down and forced to leave it setting in a street
of a small Village with the Engine still running. No one knew how to shut it off so everybody justed waited until it ran out of Fuel.
I could not get anyone with the Authourity to tell me it was o. K. to leave so hired the local Aviation Mechanic out of Hermissello to give me an O.k.
on the Engine. Then stole{Recovered} the 210 by flying it directly to Calixcao. , just landed and told customs I had not crossed the Border.
At that time all you had to do was take off from Mexicali, call Calxico land and clear customs. They had no way of proving where you had come from.
