tm-8 module blinking green
Hi, I cant seem to find this on the forum. The TM-8 module on the transmitter is blinking Green. It is suppose to be solid green or blinking green?
I think the blinking green is OKAY and it just means that the fail safe is enabled, if I disable the failsafe it will be a solid green... Is this correct?
I just want to make sure before I fly tomorow morning.
Thank you in advance.

RE: tm-8 module blinking green
So far, 11 hits on your question but no replies. Perhaps the reason is that many of the readers don't know what the tm-8 module is or what it is on.
Try a little clarification and maybe you will get a reply.
Also, see my post on acronyms and abbreviations.

Same thought here... what's a TM-8 module, who manufacturers it, who sells it, please provide a link to a web page that tells us about it.

The Futaba TM-8 module is a 8 channel FASST module to go into some futaba transmitters to give them FASST capability.

It means RF power is on.
This is from page 4 of the TM-8 user manual and page 2 has a led status chart:
"Range Check the Radio
