Futaba 3PM-2.4G / FAIL SAFE

[Crash]

I had a run away after a full out spring cleaning and shock repair / brake repair

so, I did a quick check after crash and found fail safe was not working.

reading page 8 of owner manual I found that it says
"always set the fail safe position after turning on the transmitter power."
(the transmitter automatically transfers the failsafe data to the reciever every minute)
"then check the fail safe ffuntion by turning off transmitter, servo should move to fail safe position.


so, it seems you , may have to set your fail safe position every time you turn on radio.

Correct why you are in PPM mode you have to set the fail safe every time you turn everything on. The radio can then be turned on and off as you wish but once the truck Receiver is turned off it must be reset.

To set the fail safe with this radio is easy. Put trigger to position you desire then push button on the back of the radio and it will then flash.


If the Radio is in MRS mode the fail safe has to only be set the first time. However you MUST be using Digital Servos in this mode.

I do recommend checking to see if the fail safe works every time on every type of fail safe.
