Gosh, I must be the exception then.

I have a 2.4Ghz system without failsafes. I use it on my .40-sized profiles but I won't use it on my larger planes because it has no failsafe.

I figure that no large model should fly without failsafe, so I use a JR PCM system in my 30% Extra.

Failsafes won't save my Extra from becoming a pile of dust if I get hit but it does mean that if somethin ggoes wrong, at least I know the engine won't be at full throttle and potentially tearing the flesh from people's bones.

That's the ethical/moral perspective and one that *I* take into account.
