"* Fail Safe – a safety throttle setting in case of loss of transmitter signal."
You're right. I couldn't find that.
Ghey.

This has been an area of confusion… Failsafe that is…

Most of us only use 1 channel for weapon and thus only need ONE programmable failsafe. The radio that I use now (the M11) has 1 programmable failsafe, the other two channels failsafe to neutral. The channel 1 and 2 failsafe’n to neutral is what you need to look for… I have an e-mail from the Futaba guy around here somewhere that answers the question but to be honest I don’t know if I can find it. Mail them… Ask if channel 1 and 2 failsafe to neutral or failsafe to hold; as in the sticks last spot…

Like I said in the RFL forum. . . Wait 6 months… in 6 months you will have many more radios to choose from. Airtronics, hitech and others will all have 2.4 radios out… and what happens when you have more options and competition? Price drops… Do your research though… I am working really hard with the 2 companies said above to have there failsafe systems be compatible with our rules.
