Solved TX16S MK2 Failsafe question

Update: I figured it out. Under the ELRS script at the bottom theres an option for the RX options. Go into that option and click the line that says Failsafe Pos and run it. If it does what I interpreted it to then all active channels will get a Failsafe. Seems to have worked well for me. Neither motor spins from CH3 or 5 if the TX is powered down or disconnected.

Hey everyone I'm still tinkering around with my first twin motor plane, the FT Legacy. I sorted my previous motor issues and got my differential thrust dialed in and I discovered a new issue immediately after. I know it's a bad idea to power off the TX before unplugging the planes battery but my TX16S Mk2 (using ELR receivers) has a Failsafe on ch3 in traditional AETR setup. Well since I have an additional motor now on channel 5 I discovered that motor will spool up if I power down the TX. I've searched these forums and youtube but I havent found an answer on whether or not I can apply the same Failsafe to the additional 4 channels on my RX. Can anybody point me to a thread or YouTube video?

I believe with ERLS you set the fail safe via the model tab on the web interface of the Rx. Here is a video with more details. This video uses a car controller. The same principal apply to planes.

Thanks but shortly after I posted this I think I solved it and listed it in the original thread text ^^
