You are correct, the fail safe should have both the rudder and aileron to the same direction. This would cause the airplane to drop out of the sky without covering much distance. Much safer as long as you fly over an empty space.
I've never heard of such a fail safe.
The best and most common fail safe to use is low throttle (upto 15 %).
Slight up elev and slight right rudder .... so that the plane keeps on going around in circles and does not fall with a spin, As most of the time the planes are in level flight position.
Secondly ....... I think its Very Idiotic , this is a total waste of time and equipment. Why would anyone build such a thing ? Its not impossible to make but its very stupid to attempt for it.
I have seen lots of planes and concept aircrafts but I hardly remember one with such dimensions. Has any serious flyer or aviator gone for such a thing ? I have read the profiles of these champs here (team RCU)..... all of them went for good aircrafts instead of wasting their time. People should try to benefit aviation from their research , not waste their time.
