2. The receiver enters fail-safe mode or RC signal exception triggers safe mode unusually when RC signal lost : like over RC distance and RC signal failure. SuperX support 4 types of autopilot for Safe Mode: Return to home and landing(tail in): copter turns its tail towards home (H) and then lifts up to 15m height (relative home point H), then returns to home and land.
Page 23: Fail-Safe Setting
Set Fail-safe on radio to make the receiver outputs “safe mode on” signal for Flight Controller when RC signal is lost. Check: After setting fail-safe, should power on SuperX and turn off the transmitter, then the LED shows Safe Mode. If LED does not indicate Safe Mode, please check radio settings again.
