There is a switch on many new tandem EuroTub gyros in the rear seat known as the "Instructor's Kill Switch." :eek
I cannot imagine a single instance where I might use such a switch...but I can imagine a passenger trying it to satisfy their curious nature. Perhaps it should be called the "Kill Instructor Switch."
