There's a good thread at the link below about failsafe, and the need for them.
https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/neanderthals-and-failsafe.63075/
But up until I read that thread, I'd never heard of either failsafe settings or setting a kill switch. In the videos and things I'd read when I started in this hobby about a year ago, I never came across the subject. Now maybe that was me not watching or reading the right things, or that I wasn't in a club where someone would have brought it up (another reason to join a club), but either way I never had them set when I was flying. In hindsight I realise how unsafe this was, especially as I fly with my son.
So I wanted to start this thread so experienced flyers could share their failsafe and kill switch settings for the transmitters and setup that they use, and hopefully anyone else that is new to the hobby, or hasn't set them up yet, can learn about this subject and what to do.
Hopefully it can be made a sticky so it's easily found.
