I saw a recent post in another thread that made me consider assigning the failsafe S1 switch option to manual instead for enabling fast descents. We still retain the failsafe option indirectly by switching the transmitter off if my understanding is correct.
Just wondering what others' views are on this ? Obviously I understand the need to keep lateral airspeed up to avoid vortex ring state when descending (especially descending fast).
Shared experience welcome on this matter.
I have never been brave enough to try manual mode. My understanding is that there are no safeguards in place for preventing the bird from flipping over etc....
Reassurance or dissuasion welcomed !!!
Thanks
