Default Ridgecrest takes off when lost connection to TX?

As the subject says...why does my stock ridgecrest take off at full throttle when it looses signal from the TX?

I am not usually out of range, but today I turned off the TX first and it took off.

Shouldn't it stop or beep or something? This is my first electric and on my nitro I had a failsafe sine the engine stays running in those.

1-Some radios have a "failsafe" setting, you can set it to make the throttle go to "0" when it loses the TX signal.
2-NEVER turn off the TX when the rig is powered. The RULE is:

TX on, rig on.
Rig off, TX off.

Always.
