Failsafe autopilot, for remote controlled model aircraft or boats or cars, activates a servo to stop the motor and apply any brakes on a control fault and low batteries

摘要

The failsafe autopilot system, for remote controlled model aircraft or boats or cars, automatically cuts out the fuel supply to the motor and/or applies brakes in the event of a control signal failure or drifting out of range of the control transmitter or low batteries. With interference in the pulse time or shape, its own signals are generated automatically to be passed to a servo for the control of the remote model. Two receiver voltages are monitored automatically i.e. 4.8 V with four battery cells and 6.0 V with five battery cells. The failsafe module is connected to the receiver and the servo by plugs and cables.
