Angelos,

Not sure if this is possible or needed, but I was wondering if there is any way to use the spare connector on the AP for a failsafe throttle switch, this weekend and in the past I have a very very bad habit of shutting off my transmitter first without unplugging my battery. I like the idea of being able to set the failsafe to 52% on throttle just in case, especially hauling $1000 in equipment.

What would be nice is to have a some sort of switch attached to a small metal rod the come off the skids, so when the copter is on the ground the failsafe gets set to 0 according to the switch, but when its in the air the failsafe can stay at 52%

Just an idea I suppose, I really gotta start paying attention, almost lost 2 fingers trying to tackle my logo this weekend, thankfully I just bruised my knuckles and didn't need stitches =)

I don't pretend to speak for Angelos but having read his posts about throttle settings for failsafe, I can't imagine he'd support that. His prior post suggested the throttle go to off for electrics. If he's changed his thinking, I haven't seen such a post.

Failsafe to O will safe your fingers :D
