Actually I do KC, had one in my F-16. And if you read my post I added the fact that the transmitter is excluded.
in reply to the PM, No i don't.

in reply to your above quote, you said previosuly:

The problem here is that the Tam unit bypasses all programming in the radio and goes straight to the receiver from what I understand ...........

the failsafe unit goes between the receiver and the servo, it doesn't bypass the transmitter and go straight to the receiver, it simply removes the signal the receiver was sending to the servo and sends it's own 'Gear Down' signal (that it learned from the receiver during programming) to the servo when air pressure drops below the set limit. with the new firmware if the signal from the receiver matches gear down then it'll allow the servo to be commanded by the receiver again for brake function but not gear up. if the pressure is returned to above the limit by 25 PSI then it'll allow gear up again without reseting the unit.
