Default RE: Another "Fail safe" manufacturer to add...

ORIGINAL: Silver182

Re-read the proposed regs. --- the delay required is 2 seconds is it not in the ECU/turbine?
And check your JR Radio out ----- Transmitting to an S mode receiver the 10X's failsafe is "INSTANTANEOUS NO TIME Delay" -- allowed the biggest problem I have with the JR 10X. JR is one of the main reasons the ECU's were reprogrammed for fail-safe time delay. 10X transmitters do allow failsafe delay up to 1 sec max. if you are transmitting to the older 512 bit PCM receivers! Screwy huh-----
WOW I am more confused than ever, but if the 10X does not have the delay, I know the 9ZAP does not have it, it will need to be in the ECU at least for those 2 radios.

And I will say again, I hope that if delays are added to ECUs, it is for !FAILSAFE ONLY! and not just some delay to the normal shutdown time. I think that would be a gianst step backwards with regard to fire safety, the REAL safety issue with turbines!
