Nice work Mitch!
Do NASA's general competition safety rules require an externally accessible battery cutoff as well?? Or is the interior mounted one sufficient? |

Nice work Mitch! Do NASA's general competition safety rules require an externally accessible battery cutoff as well?? Or is the interior mounted one sufficient? I had to do a sanity check .... QUOTE 15.8 Master Switch An electrical master switch is recommended on all cars, and required on some, as listed in the class rules. It shall be mounted so that it is easily accessible from the outside. If mounted outside the cockpit, it should be mounted in an area where it is least likely to be damage (e.g. cowling near wipers). The switch shall cut all power except to the onboard fire system and any other life support / medical device. The switch location must be clearly marked. Any marked switch must function as per this rule, or the indication decal must be removed. My thought process was to make it "easily accessible" from either side of the car as well as me in the seat. |

I was alway wondering what "other life support / medical device" they were refering to. I think adding a heart/lung machine in the back seat area, even though a good idea, was not CMC legal. No matter how you interpret the updating/backdating clause. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
