Default Fail Safes

Anyone know of a fail safe that will operate with a Futaba 7C and a R617FS rx. But not the throttle channel, need it to operate with the Gear switch.

It looks to me like you run into limitations with the R617FS rx. You can program the throttle to a certain position, but the other channels just hold their last position during a fail-safe event. Someone may have a way around that, but I don't.

the eight channel receiver (R6108SB) in combination with the 8FG tx has more capabilities. You can program each channel for a fail-safe mode operation.

Yup, holding last position is the problem I am running into. Guess some aspects of 72mHz were good. No problem finding fail safes for them.

Cheers

Unfortunately, I need a fail-safe to operate when signal is lost, so this one won't work. But tnks for trying

Jack,
Just curious why you need a programmable fail safe on the gear channel?
