This is a point that I have been looking for an answer for also.????
My question>> Why would it not be better to have your plane go to full flaps and a little rudder if you loose contact??? That would let you know immediately that something is wrong and keep the plane in a safe flight mode and close ???
Why use a PCM receiver if you don't use the failsafe?? I have heard a lot of pilots don't??
