RE: DX7 Fail safe
Zeeb - I have the XP9303 with the Spektrum module. At first, I wanted the Retracts to default to UP, when there was a Failsafe event. I have since changed the default to DOWN, because every time I turn on the Tx and AR9000 Rx, the Retracts cycle, unless the default is set to DOWN.
Having the Failsafe, for Retracts, set to UP, would present a problem if you place your model on the Ground and proceed to turn on the Tx and Rx., as the gear would go UP and Down.
I am told that the system goes into Failsafe until the Rx links with the Tx, Thus, it is better to set the default Failsafe setting, for Retracts, to down.
I would prefer that if my aircraft goes into Failsafe, that the gear went up, so if it crashed, it might save the gear.
