Photo by XT7 Core on Unsplash Failsafe is a feature designed to automatically return an FPV drone to a safe state in unexpected situations such as signal loss, low battery, or sensor errors. This post covers everything you need to know to avoid losing your drone, from the types of failsafes to Betaflight setup and real-world testing. What is Failsafe? Failsafe means 'safe failure'. It is a function designed to automatically return to a safe state when unexpected situations like signal loss, low battery, or sensor errors occur. Even if the signal is lost during flight, the drone automatically lands or returns, greatly reducing the chance of loss. Main Types of Failsafe 1. RX Failsafe (Receiver Failsafe) This activates when the receiver does not receive a signal for a certain period. It is the most common and important failsafe. The signal loss detection time is usually set between 500-1000ms; too short and it reacts to noise, too long and the reaction is delayed. 2....
