Fail Safe

Fail Safe

  • Attention VBar Control’s pre-programmed Fail Safe-Settings will set the servos to hold and the ESC/trottle servo to the known motor off-position, both if the connection between satellite and VBar is interrupted and if the radio connection is interrupted or broken. This way, the energy is taken out of the system as much as possible, and the model is left on a hopefully predictable trajectory.
  • Attention If the connection can be re-established, (e.g. after temporary radio interference), you regain control immediately. On an electric heli, the motor will spool up quickly, the same as from bail out/idle. A combustion engine will not regain power. Land/autorotate the model immediately and find/remedy the cause before flying again.
  • Attention In case the connection to the model or VBar breaks, VBar Control will notify Connection broken and advise to turn off the motor switch. Turn off the motor at your own discretion: we recommed turning off the motor before the model hits the ground, to avoid further damage.
  • Warning Always set the motor switch to ‘Motor Off’ position when approaching a crashed model: in case the connection can be re-established, the motor will otherwise spool up again.
