I use a throttle lock when travelling. One can start the plane and taxi, but that's it. It is a heavy thing to carry around but hey, I figure the thieves would see that, and just move on.

From: "donjohnston" <don(at)velocity-xl.com (don(at)velocity-xl.com)>
So with the understanding that most aircraft security is only good enough to keep
honest folks from running off with your airplane...
But does anyone have any ideas on ways to prevent the engine from starting? Other
that the big chain prop locks.
Early on, I was considering second, hidden mag switches. But I'm wondering if
there's an alternative.
Note: I do not have a keyed ignition switch. Just a toggle switch for each mag
and a push button starter switch.

I put a 5 amp breaker hidden under the throttle on my CH701. I call it my "air show breaker". I was sitting in the ramp one day when some idiot let his kid sit in an airplane by himself. Kid figured out how to hit the starter and make the fan turn...... Could have been ugly.
My 701 has dual electronic ignition, no mags but as long as they cant find the CB for the starter I am air show capable....
