Just an update from me - I was wrong. The key to getting a failsafe report is that there must be at least 300ms difference between the code sent at failsafe and the normal trim up throttle low position. In order to do this with Futaba, I set the endpoints on the throttle to 150%, moved all the way to low throttle low trim and set the failsafe value on the throttle. I then reset the throttle endpoints to range between -90% and +90% and rerun the learn RC command. Tested and I now see the failsafe shutdown code.
I've got a G3 K210 and it was my first Kingtech. I put out the same question on the Jet forum here in the states. Nobody could really answer this. I believe it's an inherent problem with the Kingtech ECU firmware and it's something they just don't care to fix. I had the same issue with an old Jetcentral Super Eagle in an F-15 many years age and that was a Xicoy ECU. They have since updated their ECU's and you will get a failsafe message.
Hi, I don't have a Kingtech G4 but I do have Jetsmunt and I believe they are based around the same Xicoy technology. Do you actually see a difference in turbine behaviour? Shutdown should stop the engine immediately, whereas Failsafe should idle the engine after 0.5 seconds, then shutdown after a further 1.5 seconds (unless the signal returns). It was a little difficult to see in your video the point at which failsafe occured, and the engine actually shutdown. Hope that helps.
Try to unplug rx power and see code stored that way. Because this way ecu is getting valid PWM, it does not know is it you on the sticks/trim or programmed setting in ypur rx... It will display failsafe if it gets corrupted PWM or no PWM at all, which happens if cable gets pulled out, bqttery dies, rx dies... But failsafe that you set up in ypur tx in previous video is there to kick in in case you loose radio connection to the rx, which will then continue to send preset PWM signals like nothing happened... If you really want to see failsafe code in case of radio link loss, try to set your rx to stop sending pwm on thr channel (no hold, no preset %, just 'off')

Hey, please let me know if you have any questions, or if you have a G4 and get a failsafe code!
