If you aren't going into business - somebody should. I think it is a
neat idea although it would need a way to detect that the electronic
box is being crunched or shot at etc etc.

Cool------


Thanks!

One could also get more complicated and have the lock and the remote
system in continuous wireless communication, to make sure the lock is
still intact -- but then there are more ways for the false alarm rate to
go up.

Good plan, I once was pulling mine through with the mags off, on the
3rd pull it fired and sat there idling.
I went back to cockpit and the mags were still in the off position.

Always treat it like it is loaded!!!.

triggered) you light the alarm fuse.


That's not very expandable. If the system gets popular, you'd need lots of
frequencies; otherwise your alarm might fail to sound when your item is stolen
because someone else close by is on the same frequency.

Nah, yah gotta think digital. It has to be chirping your digital code, not
just frequencies.

Then you chirp a digital code. A simple 16 bit code gives you 64K discrete
addresses. Ain't that many airplanes on the field at Oshkosh at one time.

If one were able to add in the cost of the various kickbacks
and other hidden penalties, you'd see a different picture, though
I'd bet NJ would compare very well to the Chicago area.


Hmmmm... Comparing a toxic waste dump to a cesspool... Quite appropriate...

One of the better hangar stories I have heard involved an aircraft that had
just been flown and pushed back into the hangar. The mags were off and fuel
valve was in the off position. The hangar door was closed. The tires were
not chocked. As the pilot was leaving he moved the prop to the horizontal
(or vertical?) position. The pilot was standing in front of the prop. The
engine fired and the pilot was pinned against the door and placed his hand
on the spinner to stop the aircraft from moving forward until the engine ran
out of vapor.

It did not seem impossible to me but could be urban legend?

And when you get two on the same frequency is it possible for one to
swamp the other. If you use something like WiFi to set off an alarm,
or call home, that's different as the networking *should* take care of
collissions and multiple systems can coexist on the same frequency.

Tell them I sent you. They've offered me (unsolicited) a 5% finders fee.
I'll either split the fee with you or we can donate the whole thing to EAA
Young Eagles. Your call

Head over to Google and check out two threads in R.A.O. on the subject, both
started by Jim. Here's part of one that may give you some incentive.

"Here are photos of the place I told you about that is up for grabs.

If I had 350K, I'd buy it in a pair of seconds."
