Ninjalock- Throttle safety harness
Reading through the forums one day I saw a picture that a guy had posted with a rubberband holding down the throttle stick. I thought to myself "That looks stupid!" The next day I bumped the throttle accidentally and flew the airplane out of the back of the car. I started using the rubberband trick from then on.
That was version 1.
Version 2 looks a lot better and I don't have to replace it every couple 'o weeks. If your radio doesn't have a safety option for the throttle, feel free to copy or improve the design and make one of these for yourself and your friends. Just let me know how it works out for you.
One piece of sewing elastic
Two pieces of shrink tube
One O ring
A little bit of hot glue
One end of the elastic is looped around the handle on the back of the radio, hot glued to itself and then the shrink tubing keeps it secure.
The other end is looped the same way and looped through an O ring.
Hopefully the pictures will fill in the blanks.
Fly safe-
Don't let this happen to you!
