Flaming not required, are you unwilling to discuss?

You think there is no value in maintaining a predictable flightpath while eliminating power to the head?
You think headspeed will not decay?

The thing is, before fail-safe is engaged, a significant amount of time without signal must pass. Significant enough that it's unlikely you'll be getting control back and manage a controlled landing.

fail-safe: it's not perfect but it's better than the alternative ... an un-controlled heli over a crowd.[X(]

----------------------
my fail-safe settings

heli:
Throttle to idle, rest of channels to hold (best bet to decay headspeed while maintaining heading)

aircraft:
Throttle to idle, sticks to the corner (results in snap-spin {least distance over ground})
