Default RE: Fail safe ??

A failsafe returns the servo to a designated position when the Rx voltage becomes too low or when the radio signal is lost. The return spring will help for low voltage, but if the signal is lost the servo can glitch or stick Wide open. The failsafe will prevent a runaway in both conditions, so it's a good idea to use both.
