For just about any other case, I would say thats a great solution, but EUCs are self-balancing devices. A switch would be a potential failure point, and experiencing a power loss at speed would likely result in serious injury.
So you trust a software switch more. One that's not under your control and is theoretically subject to bugs, and can be demonstrably manipulated remotely.
Makes sense to me.
Fair point to some extent, but an electric speed controller (esc) is efficiency a software controlled switch anyway and thus is prone to the same manipulation. I suspect that this 'software switch' is nothing more than a flag telling the esc not to engage the motor.
