How do I set a Fail safe on a 450?

[Streetluge Chris]

I have a copter x 450 and couple times by mistake I have turn the TX off so you can guess what happened next.Is there away of setting a fail safe so that it just go's to zero throttle if the signal is lost.

If you re-bind the heli with your throttle at low stick, it should set the fail-safe accordingly at low throttle.

Chris, just make sure you have calibrated the throttle cannel first then rebind setting the fail safes, always calibrate with a linear 0-100 throttle curve.

Yes, when you bind to the rx put the sticks at all neutral points ie low throttle and normal position on ele and ail as the fail safe is those postions you have the sticks at when you bind

This is the way I have always done it however up until now Ive never considered pitch curves.

What pitch curves does everybody use when binding.
An idle up type curve that gives somwhere in the region of -/+ 11 degrees or a normal curve which has say -3/+11

To me it makes more sense to bind in normal mode with a -3 pitch curve so the heli is not shot into the floor due to the large negative pitch when in fail safe.

Im interested to know peoples views/ experiences on what is the best pitch value to use should a fail safe condition occur

cheers

cool :P

[Streetluge Chris]

Great thanks done it and test to make sure it worked.

Awesome glad you got sorted Chris

You should use a normal curve when setting failsafe, in the event you need it you wont drive it in at -13

I am only using -2 0 10 deg pitch.Thanks
