It could be construed as hijacking the thread

On the subject of props and emergency shutdowns whilst on the ground has anyone timed how long it takes for their prop to stop ?

1. Using the ICO

2. Using the Mags alone

Using the ICO on the Lycomings I fly behind it takes a pregnant 4 to 5 seconds before the prop is stationary.

In the nightmare scenario of Children/Dogs deaf people etc getting in your path whilst taxiing in at a fly in for example, how quickly could you make your machine safe?

Turboprops need not reply!
