How do you all secure your planes? I mean obviously you keep it in a hangar or garage, but if your plane has a push button start, or just any way to start it without a key, how do you prevent people from stealing it?
Hidden night switch?
Unplug a wiring harness?
Keyless fob?
Lockout function on the avionics?
I'm new to this, sorry if this is a dumb question.

I use a momentary key switch for start, just like they do it with the RV-12.
2 separate toggle switches for ignition.

A throttle lock works for me.

This won't really stop a thief, but I have a push button and didn't want a youngster accidentally spinning the prop. A simple lock over the master switch.

What do you guys think about a keylock switch as the master as opposed to the starter?

My Citabria had heel brakes. I could have left the engine running and the door open.
