Does Throttle failsafe work on PWM?

Hi,
I've read conflicting stories on whether the Throttle failsafe works on WPM and PPM, or in PPM only. My current receivers currently only failsafe on throttle and I'm running PWM, can I use this feature?
Thanks

Hi,
The gluonpilot "No RC-signal" looks at the throttle channel when PWM is used. When the throttle channel drops below 900us (930us in the upcoming releases), it will automatically switch to autopilot mode.
In PPM mode this is not used.

Tom,
Ive been thinking about this, could the threshold be a user configurable setting?
I've had problems with min/max PWM and my radio before, I couldn't get it low enough to trigger RTl.
Pretty please!

User configurable will be a bit hard... but I'll be happy to send you a version compiled with different settings!
