WARNING
Safety Reminder: Remove both main and tail blades from the model and/or
disengage the motor’s pinion from the main gear before proceeding with any
electric governor set up.
Make sure your ESC is configured for external governor use. Refer to the own
-
er’s manual for your ESC.
You may use either a brushless phase sensor or the traditional governor magnetic
sensor with a magnet mounted in a collar on the main shaft or in the main gear.
With one magnet, set the gear ratio to 1:1.
When choosing a brushless phase sensor, observe the input signal range of the
CGY specified in the Governor Basic section.
Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for your electric motor to select the
correct pole count when using a brushless phase sensor. Pole count is set to 2
when using a magnetic sensor.
Set the governor Working Mode (Wrk.Mode) in
"
GOV EXPERT
"
menu.
Set the servo type (ServoTyp) to DG:1520.
Make sure you correctly calibrate your ESC.
Make sure you calibrate the governor speed ranges in the transmitter’s governor
menu and set the high and low limits for throttle in the Governor Basic menu.
If a tail
"
kick
"
or
"
jerk
"
is observed when switching from one idle-up head speed
to another, INCREASE the Revolution Up and Down delays (Revo.Up Dlyo/
Revo.Dn Dly –

"
Menu). Increase 2-5% at a time until the tail
"
kick
"
is suppressed.
The greater the electronic speed control headroom built into the model as a func-
tion of its gearing, the more prone the tail will be to kicking with aggressive fly
-
ing. Models geared for high head speed but flown aggressively at low head speed
present the greatest challenge for the governor. The more optimally your model
is geared for your chosen head speed, the better the governor will function.
Excessive governor gain worsens tail kick. Use as little gain as necessary for ad
-
equate head speed control.
If the model yaws nose left with aggressive collective input, activate and adjust
the PIT→RUD F/F (feed forward) mixing. Increase in 2-5% increments. F/F
mixing should ADD pitch to rudder with added positive or negative collective
pitch assuming a CW main rotor direction.
