*Normally a value of 10- 20%. Secure the fuselage, engine running. Set the THROTTLE STICK to idle. Adjust
the IDLE-DOWN switch ON and OFF until the desired idle is achieved. Be sure to throttle up periodically to
allow the engine to “clean out” and idle reliably.
*Also LOGIC SW (Lsw1 to 3) may be assigned.
2.3.10 Fail Safe (F/S)
(loss of clean signal and low receiver battery) submenu (F/S): sets
responses in case of loss of signal or low Rx Battery.
Adjustability:
•Each channel may be set independently.
• The NOR (normal) setting holds the servo in its last commanded
position.
• The F/S (Failsafe) function moves each servo to a predetermined
position.
• NOTE: the setting of the throttle's F/S also applies to the Battery F/S.
• The F/S is used in certain competitions to spin the MULTIROTOR to the ground prior to flying away and
doing potential damage elsewhere. Conversely, may also be used to go to neutral on all servos, hopefully
keeping the plane flying as long as possible.
• Competition modelers often maintain the NOR function so that brief interference will not affect their model's
maneuver.
• Set the throttle channel so that the engine idles when there is interference (ACRO). This may give enough
time to fly away from and recover from the radio interference and minimize damage if crashed.
• For helicopters, NOR is typically the safest choice.
•We also recommend setting a gasoline engine's electronic kill switch to the OFF position in the F/S function
for safety reasons.
If you specify a F/S setting, the Failsafe data is automatically transmitted once each two minutes. (PCM)
When you choose the F/S mode, check that your settings are as desired by turning off the transmitter power
switch and verifying that the servos move to the settings that you chose. Be sure to wait at least two minutes
after changing the setting and turning on the receiver power before turning off the transmitter to confirm your
changes have been transmitted.
