If you can get your controls to switch off when the radio signal is lost, then that is a valid failsafe.
To elaborate, if we ask you to turn your weapon or drives on, then switch your transmitter power off with the weapon or drive channel still in the activated position, your failsafe needs to recognise loss of signal and return all weapon and drive channels to the off state.
I dont see how you are going to do that using a servo without a failsafe module or PCM Radio (with built in failsafes) though. When the signal is lost for an "AM" or "FM" radio, the servos usually either stay where they were or jitter about randomly. if the servo was in the on position when that happens, it will quite likely stay on.
But if you have an idea that can demonstratably and reliably pass the power-off-while-active test, then feel free to use it, and let us know how you did it ! l: _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
