I hope you know this but if not, It's always suggested to turn the Rx off before turning the Tx off. You should also have a failsafe setup in the event that you turn the Tx off accidentally. Also, once you have the failsafe setup, follow the same procedure. A friend of mine burnt up his throttle servo (on a nitro car) since he turned the Tx off and the Rx went into failsafe.

Many programable radio's have the fail safe option but if your does not have that please get one , if you get out of the range or as the person above me said accidentally switch of your radio the fail safe will reset your throttle servo .
The setup of fail safe is easy as well it sits between the line between your throttle servo and receiver Title: Re: safety of the people on flying field Post by: vishalrao on August 11, 2014, 05:07:35 PM Have a dedicated buddy or a local guy to manage bystanders. This is a must. Keep all of them in one place at the side. Being timid will not help. You have to exert some authority. Soon, someone among the bystanders will start policing others :giggle:
