If you want believe what you wrote ''Futaba handles RX fail safe low voltage really well'' then continue to do so but please don't try to sell me snake oil, I'm not interested. I will state it one more time and this is an absolute undeniable fact, once a receiver battery has gone down past the point of servo function, it's over. No control, nada, nothing, servos CAN'T move anymore.

Absolutely right, but when the voltage drops to 3.8 volts, the Futaba receivers (that by the way, can work down to 2.6 volts) will failsafe the throttle channel ONLY to warn you that there's a problem. I've seen this save many planes before.
