Hi @Tuffbull7923, thanks for this.
Though I can’t quite resist the temptation to point out that the fuel handle you’d have me pull is marked ‘EMERGENCY FUEL SHUT-OFF’:
So what is the non-emergency way of shutting off the fuel?
Well, if you look carefully at your throttle, you’ll see an arcing shelf under and to the right of the throttle, and at its rear is the word IDLE, then below that a red area which may or may not - your picture isn’t clear enough - have the word STOP on it. To its left is a little grey tab you ought to be able to pull.
My guess is that if you pull that tab you can then pull, or lift and pull, the throttle right back to cut off the fuel.
My L-39 throttle is a modified version, which slides back and forth on a rail: still, it doesn’t normally move all the way back, but there is a tab on the bottom which if pressed would probably allow it to move that extra distance to the cutoff position:
However, the tab doesn’t actually do anything in my L-39, and I doubt your tab will work in yours (but do let me know if it does).
There is a similar mechanism which does work in Just Flight’s Hawk T.1 - but that’s a rather expensive third-party aircraft, and this isn’t.
So your method is probably the best available to us.
