I can't stay quiet here.
I learned to stop the engine of a c152 or pa28 or any other small plane with setting the mixture to lean!!!! The reason is: no combustible mixture makes it very shure that there is no backfiring or ignition when the prop of a hot engine is accidentily moved, even with ignition set to on. To stop a airplane engine by switching the ignition (magnetos) off is dangerous and just plain WRONG!!!! And of course a airplane engine is constructed to run without external power, be it generator or battery. Those are only needed for auxilary systems! The "Kommandogerät" of the FW190 could be set to manual override if i.e. the electric was lost.
