NO, the Futaba FASST systems send the failsafe every time you turn on. That way the RX always has the most up to date info. And it resends it every minute or so IIRC. I am fairly certain of this, but will confirm it to be sure.
Keep in ind that you do not ''bind'' a FASST RX, you link it to that TX. But what would happen if I swapped out two 617 RXs in a plane? Both are linked to the same TX. Nothing, the failsafe does not travel with the RX, it is sent by the TX.
Ok!! So it is unique to Futaba FASST. The transmitter stores the Failsafe Settings in memory? In other words, the Failsafe Settings are stored in the model memory, as in the days of PCM?
