a FAILSAFE would not help you when the power shuts off due to a breakage.

The best thing is to get a throttle return spring and a fast but weak (torque wise) servo for the throttle

If the power shuts off, the throttle will be puled back buy the spring and atleast idle the motor

I have seen a few runaways 99% are due to battery issues and not radio communication errors since the move to 2.4GHz

If the motor screamed when it went upside down it's time for a re-build or a new motor

rebuild - new piston, sleeve and rod is a cheaper method than a new mill
