Hi guys, does any know if the futaba 9C super pcm reciever has a 3.5volt reset level same as the XPS 2.4 recievers. From what I understand the pcm reciever doesnt actually reset completely like the xps but will activate failsafe on throttle (when setup)to alert the user of a low voltage problem.....is this correct?
I need to clear this up thanks

I think it momentarally cuts the throttle if I am not mistaken. It has been a while though.

Low voltage alert is around 3.2v. Throttle channel will go to idle. If you reduce throttle stick to idle, you recapture control. If voltage is still below 3.2v, it will again go to idle after 30 seconds. Then you can recapture for another 30 seconds. I'm not 100% on the 3.2v. It's somewhere around there.

Seriously if you down to 3.5 your in the danger zone. A battery with more capacity is in order. High milli amp rating is always a good thing. Fully charged batteries help too....
