So I had a big 'oops' situation where when I was flicking a switch on my 9x that controls my on board camera, where I accidentally flicked the switch that activates the fail safe. Luckily the damage was minimal (all props and my VTx antenna), but I like to learn from my mistakes and try to prevent them from happening again.
What I'd like to do is have it so that TWO switches need to be flicked to activate the fail safe. The fail safe is triggered by setting channel 6 to 67% of MAX (not the exact number, but it's something like that). Does anyone know how this can be done with the er9x, if at all?
One more important piece of information is that the 3-way switch also controls this channel, and needs to independently. The 3 options for this channel is GPS Mode, Altitude hold, manual, and failsafe (Naza-M Flight Controller).
So one 3-way for 3 options, then two switch flicked to change it to the third option, overriding the 3-way.
Dual switch function?

You can activate that MAX line with a custom switch, and set that custom switch to AND two physical switches or other conditions.

Re: Dual switch function?
Use a custom switch like:
CS3: AND ELE RUD
then use this custom switch to control setting the failsafe channel.
The custom switch will only be ON if the ELEvator AND RUDder switches are both ON. You can choose which two switches you use.

Re: Dual switch function?
I don't understand why activating failsafe from the radio.. shouldn't it kick in when signal is lost?
and if signal is lost you can flick that switch as much as you want that it won't go into failsafe..
Please don't take me wrong. I'm just trying to understand

Fail safe also activates the return to home feature.
