It does not matter when or how the failsafe is stored in the receiver's memory. For Spektrum and JR it is done during binding, for other manufacturers may have different ways of setting failsafe. The bottom line is that failsafe
is not there to save the aircraft. Failsafe is there to minimize damage on the ground potentially caused by the aircraft. Most helicopter pilots understand this concept and accept it. it is not easy to accept this concept, specially when your pride and joy's price starts going into the 4 figures.

Must be a Spectrum thing, I fly airtronics and failsafe is a seperate function after binding. I'm using an Rxcel kill switch and it kills the engine on signal loss or tranmitter switch.
Why do you have a separate kill device on your aircraft? And how does it know that your receiver lost signal if the failsafe is set to lower the throttle? Wouldn't that be a command from the receiver? How does the kill switch know that the receiver lost signal? I'm not trying to be a smart @$$ just trying to use some logic on your set-up.
