FAIL-SAFE and Hold Mode Setup

If the FAIL SAFE function is set up and used properly but the receiver signal is somehow interrupted,

the servos will move to your previously stored FAIL-SAFE setup. If you do not activate the FAIL-SAFE

function, the signal is switched o after the HOLD period of 1 sec. This means that the servos become

“soft” and remain in their last commanded position under no load (this may equate to full-throttle!), until

a valid signal is picked up again. In the interests of safety, we recommend that FAIL-SAFE should always

be activated, and the FAIL-SAFE settings should be selected so as to bring the model to a non-critical

situation (e.g. motor idle / electric motor OFF, control surfaces neutral, airbrakes extended, aero-tow

release open, etc.).

Testing the FAIL-SAFE Setting

Move the sticks to positions other than the FAIL-SAFE settings, and then switch o the transmitter. The

servos should now move to the FAIL-SAFE positions previously stored, after the one second HOLD period.

How to turn FAIL-SAFE O and reactivate the Hold Mode

a. Switch on the transmitter, then the receiver. Wait for the system to boot and you have control over the

model.

b. Press and hold the receiver function button for 6 seconds and release it. After 2 seconds the red and

blue LEDs will blink rapidly.

c. Immediately press the button once.

d. FAIL-SAFE Mode is now deactivated and HOLD mode is activated.

e. Turn the transmitter o, then the receiver o.

f. Turn the system back on to use it.
