Fine, explain what the "better for it to go to a pre set than going wild" is exactly?
We're not talking horizon guided gyro here where the airplane magically rights itself and lands by itself. We're talking about some kind of preset position for the servos that assume that position at whatever attitude the aircraft is in at time of lost signal.
If the aircraft fails in some kind of non-cruise attitude, then what have you got? Nothing, really ... If you programmed the "usual" idle throttle and neutral servo positions, the aircraft is going in anyway and will be no less made garbage than a non-failsafe aircraft.
I sometimes wonder if some of the guys really understand what failsafe really is?

All the radio systems at our site that have done "The headless chicken" ie hit and lost total control have been ppm systems. Isnt it better for it to go to a pre set than going wild.
Plus if you buy a Futaba 6x and up you can switch between Pcm and Ppm so have the best and worst of both worlds.jmo
