    #1What happened to failsafe?

    Yesterday, 10:43 PM
    I turned on my Spektrum DX6 then plugged in the 6S battery to my Freewing F-86 80mm getting ready to fly. For some reason I wanted to check the trim settings in “trim utilities”. When you do that the trim utilities menu alerts you that the “RF Output will be Reduced”. When I continued into the trim utilities, all of a sudden the EDF spooled up even with the throttle stick all the way back at idle. The airplane rolled off until my brain caught up and I exited the “trim utilities” . The receiver is Spektrum AR620. I can’t figure out why the EDF throttled up with reduced RF output. If anything I would expect the failsafe to kick in and cut power to the EDF ( since the failsafe should have set when I last binded the Airplane). Any ideas? Thank You

    Perhaps you should answer Fred’s questions in the other thread you started and see where that leads.
