ORIGINAL: Square Nozzle
The radio is a JR 9303 with a Spectrum 2.4 module and an AR9000 Spectrum receiver. The failsafes are set in the binding process. When I bind the system I have the throttle set at shut down and the control surfaces at neutral. The gear switch is in the down position. The additional failsafe for low air pressure is set in the gear / brake module at 50 psig. During ground check I have the system pressure above 50 psig. Typically 70 psig in the shop and 90 in prep for flight.
Do you have a servo tester to use instead of your Rx for the ground tests ?
