A lil' history ...
    This project involves the design and building of a neat fail-safe device that is placed between your receiver's servo output and your servo.  This unit continually monitors the servo pulses and when these are not sensed (either Tx turned off or a major glitch is encountered), the fail-safe device kicks in and positions the servo into a position the user has previously programmed.  This device is particularly useful on engine throttle servos (airplane, car, boats, etc..) where you want to avoid "run-away" of the engine if and when a glitch is received or your transmitter malfunctions (or the Transmitter battery has died which I have seen all too often in the past).
