| In the video, the throttle pump was Rx Smart FailSafe not NAZA failsafe. You are correct in saying that the proper way to test it is by using the NAZA software via the USB link. I also agree with your steps in setting proper failsafe stick positions. However, when you follow those instructions, you'll still crash as NAZA failsafe will never be triggered. How do I know? I can test it. Turning off the Tx doesn't trigger failsafe in NAZA. If I was in Manual mode, it will remain manual mode. If I was in ATTI it will stay there as well. The problem is not on those instructions you provided. The problem is with the instructions Spektrum provided on how to bind the Rx to the Tx. See, Spektrum offers 2 failsafe methods. One called "SmartSafe" and the other one called "Preset Failsafe". For the Naza to work properly, you need to select "Preset FailSafe". How you select which failsafe method you want is dependent on how you bind it. Unfortunately, Spektrum prints the instructions on how to select SmartSafe only while leaving "Preset FailSafe" instructions out while most new receivers support it. Here's how you select each of the failsafe methods. Programming SmartSafe During the binding process, the bind plug is left in throughout the process and is removed only after the receiver connects to the transmitter. After the connection is made, confirmed by operating the servos, the bind plug can be removed. The receiver is now programmed for SmartSafe. Programming Preset Failsafe During the binding process the bind plug is inserted in the bind port, then the receiver is powered up. The LEDs in each receiver should blink, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode. Now before binding the receiver to the transmitter and with the receiver in bind mode, remove the bind plug. The LEDs will still be blinking. With the control sticks and switches in the desired failsafe positions, bind the transmitter to the receiver. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The system should connect in less than 15 seconds. The receiver is now programmed for preset failsafe. Note: Failsafe positions are stored via the stick and switch positions on the transmitter during binding. Receiver Power Only * With SmartSafe or Preset Failsafe, when the receiver only is turned on (no transmitter signal is present), the throttle channel has no output, to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control. * All other channels are driven to their preset failsafe positions set during binding. Note: Some analog servos may coast slightly even though no signal is present. This is normal. I hope you find this information useful.
