I am trying to find guidance on the proper way to set up the failsafe (F/S) on a PowerBox Royal using 2 Futaba 2.4 receivers and a 12Z transmitter. Thus far, I have plugged each F/S patch cord into each receiver on an unused channel (CH 10). CH 10 is not utilized in either receiver and I assigned it to a rotary knob.

Should I now enable the F/S function for CH 10 in the transmitter .... and turn it off for all other functions ?

Thanks. Bob

Hey Bob

just pick a free chanell like the ch10 you have. now the trick is to make this chanel go -100 on fail safe.
the rotary know can do the job. go to fail safe anable the F/S fanction for chanel 10 and use your rotary knob to set up the fail safe of ch10 at -100.

then go on fanction ..and where is the control of ch 10(rotary knob in our case) you NULL it just for safety.so you wont accidently comant a f/s.

now no knob swich trim or stick controls ch10

now get a servo and put it in ch10 in each receiver and shut off radio and confirm they move to -100.

plug all on and you are ready to go!

also you can select the (online) receiver before take off by removing others f/s chanel..and plug it back in

this way i find the best place for my receiver in the fuse and then swich to a one receiver setup

forgive my poor english
