Wish I never bought this thing!!!!

OK I have my switches like this switch D off/course lock switch G GPS/ALT/Manual. Now how do I set up fail safe? My radio only has fail safe on channel three and I'm not sure how to set this up.
The simplest solution is to configure the Naza to GPS/ATT/Failsafe... But then you loose Manual mode. Otherwise you have to use the mixing function of your transmitter, and for that I'll have let somebody that know your transmitter to chime in.
 

Hi deluge2, extremely well explained and accurate to my knowledge, making this clear and understandable is so important.

bensid54, your first priority is to make failsafe function in the event that radio communication between your transmitter and receiver fails (for what ever reason).

Have a look at the following youtube video he goes into failsafe settings at about 2min 45 sec :-

I do not have your 7C radio but as I said earlier most futaba are similar.

Hi besid54, Again not familiar with your particular radio model 7C but it seems like the only RTH function that may be possible on your radio is RTH via a Switch. That would mean that if you fly out too far and lose radio communication your quad may/will not come back to launch location.

I know accessing your "Prog. Mix" menu may be different and so will the switch you decide to select to perform this function.
The following is how to set RTH on demand via switch on a T10C*G and it is only a rough guide for you.
On the 10C RTH on demand only works if the radio is set to GPS flight mode.
Other Futaba radios like the 8FG super can be configured so that RTH on demand functions regardless of flight mode (manual, Atti or GPS-Atti).

Return to Home on Demand (under Prog. Mix1-8 menu) :-

This will only work if (SwE) (Flight Mode switch) is in the Down position (GPS Position Hold).
To get to “Prog. Mix1-8” menu highlight MODEL and press the mode button.
1. Press the “Push” button and then select/highlight Mix number one, press the “Push” button again, scroll down to Master-Slave and select “CH7” on both.
2. Go to “SW” (switch) and select “SwD” (switch D) then go to “POSI” and select “Down”.
3. Go to “RATE” “H” and set this to -50% (highlight “H” by moving SwE to Down position).
4. Test by moving switch to up/down position and test within DJI Assistant.

I was wondering channel six is the unused maybe I can set it to work on fail safe by tweaking the end points.
 

I assume you mean incase radio signal is lost? You can certainly give it a try, DJI Naza needs to go into failsafe RTH when you turn off your radio.
or
if that does not work use CH6 to set up RTH to work on a spare switch.

I've had a terrible time setting up failsafe because I was given all the wrong settings when I bought it. Now I've got the right settings everything works. It's a different radio (Devo 10) but you may be able to translate this to yours.

1. Model Menu > Model Name > DJI **** (name of your choice)
2. Model Menu > Type Select> highlight AEROPLANE > Press ENT
3. Function Menu > Sub Trim > FLAP U4.0% (All other sub trims at 0.0%)
4. Function Menu > Travel Adjust > FLAP U85.0% - D85.0% (All other settings at 100.0%)
5. Function Menu > Program Mix > Program Mix 1 – NORMAL > All Servos Hold? OK
Master

7. Function Menu > Fail Safe

Bruce I can do some tweaking on the number 6 channel making number 5 the slave channel. That could cancel out number 6 switch making number 5 switch the one sending the signal to the MC and then giving me RTH by switch. Ash I'm going to try your % settings to dumb down the twitchy feeling I'm getting at the controls.
