Hi,

to be honest, I don't use the dedicated failsafe position at this time since defining the servo positions channel by channel is far too complicated especially when you deal with a 6 flap glider etc.
I would suggest to get an easier procedure to get the servo positions saved in the RX by just setting the TX to the desired positions and press a "save" button.

The benefit of this method is that possible mixers will be applied automatically in order to get to the final servo position without writing down each servo position from the servo monitor and transfer this to each channel manually. Especially when using full Butterfly as failsafe position the elevator correction is difficult to handle otherwise.
And it only takes a second to setup failsafe completely.

Thanks anyway for your open ears regarding our wishes and suggestions and their professional implementation in the Dx firmware.
Looking forward to 20 more successful years in RC business and congratulations to your 20th company anniversary.

Best regards

Onki

+1, I agree 100% with Onki!

A feature to just safe the currently set position of all servos as fail safe position should be implemented, as in the Graupner HoTT systems.

There is another big danger in the currently implemented fail safe setting possibility: When setting the fail safe for a flap seevo, I burned a servo recently as it seems the limit positions set for each servo is overruled by the fail safe!!!

Please urgently modify and implement a "safe current positions for all servos" feature!

Best regards from Switzerland,

Peter

I think, that both possibilities have their advantages and disadvatages, thus both should be possible: An individual setting of the failsafe position of each function and a (new) one-click-solution.

Kind regards

Yes, ideally you should have the choice between the "easy, fast" storage of a current position in the fails safe and an individuel possibility.

I forgot to mention another critical point in fail safe with the current system: When you switch to set up each individual setting, throttle is at MIDDLE POSITION as a default position. This is very dangerous, if you test the fail safe by switching off the transmitter and you did not set throttle to -100% manually, your propeller goes to half throttle!

Please change this in the current software!
