  * Failsafe channel mapping.
  *
- * The RC mapping index indicates which channel is used for failsafe
+ * Configures which channel is used by the receiver to indicate the signal was lost.
+ * Futaba receivers do report that way.
  * If 0, whichever channel is mapped to throttle is used
  * otherwise the value indicates the specific RC channel to use
  *
+ * Use RC_FAILS_THR to set the threshold indicating lost signal. By default it's below
+ * the expected range and hence diabled.
