Is there a way to see if the receiver went into fail safe? 14 chl.

Example: My turbine engine quit in flight, landed then checked the GSU display and it shows ( picture ) will that be a fail safe?

Tks.

No idea what that display is telling you. I assume you have your failsafe to kill the throttle? There is no way to tell if your radio went into failsafe. The radio does no retain a record of those events.

Got it!

Thanks Bill.

FWIW, I usually set idle rather kill for failsafe. If it goes to idle you know it was failsafe. If it dies you can only guess.

Thank you, I will give that some thought, I think I like that set up better when it comes to gas engines, turbines, different rules.

Ive been reading the 10 cap manual, ECU manual and postings on RCU regarding fail safe set up, I now understandthe gas engine fail safe set up and turbine.

Thanks you for the help.

Hope I helped. I am not up on turbine ECUs, etc. If you need more guidance I can point you in the right direction to some Team Futaba guys who fly turbines.

I got it all figured out, the fail safe is programmed the right way now and working perfectly.

On turbines you need to program the fail safe out side the normal throttle range in order to make it work.

Thank you for all your help Bill, very much appreciated.

PS: I'm now looking to get a 14 chl Futaba radio ( need more chls )

Glad you got it working correctly.
