I chose not to implement the "injector failure switches". I don’t know if there are any statistics on it, but I suspect injector failure is an extremely rare occurrence. On the other hand if one did fail I'd rather fly the plane and troubleshoot the problem after I'm on the ground. But that’s part of the advantage in going the Experimental route - build it the way you want it.

In the event of a primary or secondary injector failure, the affected injector set can be switched off and the cold start switch used to richen up the remaining injectors. This as per Tracy's instructions. I haven't tried this, and hope I never have to in the heat of battle, but there it is.
