help...servo info

Ok dc2 here's the skinny, I run pico's in my fg and rampage.

Engine will not run until you turn on tx and switch pico on
Pico can be turned off from handset until out of range
pico will not kill engine out of range if you set the tx failsafe ch3 to hold
failsafe kicks in out of range
failsafe kicks in when batt is low, pico goes down to 3.5 volts so failsafe will act first
Pico and failsafe kick in when tx turned off
pico kicks in when onboard batt is disconnected failsafe won't
failsafe kicks in when tx volts low pico won't if set to hold on ch3 failsafe
in event of a servo fault failsafe won't work pico will from handset switch
can do proper plug chop with pico
any other reason to kill engine instantly=pico



for $35 or 25euro thingies, they are very cheap insurance for a few thousand dollar rc
and they're a breeze to instal.

I really can't see an arguement for not having one

well said moo. thanx!!

Battery monitor can be found at any LHS. VoltWatch. Like this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHDJ2&P=ML
