If you have had an rx power failure, nothing will stop it as your tx and failsafe are useless. If the rx battery still works, is there a chance it came unplugged? Glad no one was hurt.Cheers,

did u have the satellite and the main receiver pointing in different directions? (e.g. one horizontal and one vertical)
And also did u have the satellite behind any carbon?John Nobbs

Not a nice experience, I know, glad no one one was injured.
If it's Nitro,
Sounds like, either rx battery has discharged to much or rx has gone nads up therefore fail-safe will not engage as it only activates if TX goes low batt.
I have one of these fitted to mine CSM Throttlesafe or you can fit a throttle return spring to prevent it happening again.The Fleet

Contact the bmfa immediately if there's insurance involved, if your not a member you could end up footing a very large bill for the repairs.
