RE: PCM vs. FM
What transmitter do you have? That is how you program the failsafe--see transmitter instructions for programming PCM failsafe, program it then test it by shutting off you transmitter and making sure the servos go where you want them.

This is trivial but I like this about PCM--f you turn on the plane before the transmitter your servos don't go crazy.
I also have a Berg6 with failsafe and like that receiver as well--not PCM, but does have some type of signal recognition and lock and failsafe does work when I test it.
