left
side
is
PIT.
Do
not

commands.
3.
If
incorrect
movements
or
servo
has
no
movement,
please
check
servo
connection
to
3GX
as
well
as
radio
control
system.
1.
Ensure
correct
throttle

direction
and
mechanical
travel
range
prior
to
connecting
the
governor.
2.
Connect
wires
and
install

in
diagram.
3.
When
using
standard
parallel
channel
layout
or
S.BUS
system
to
connect
the
3GX,
speed
setting
is
done
through
channel
7.
Turning
channel
7
on
or
off
will
enable
or
disable
governor
function.
When
satellite
receivers
are
used,
governor
speed
setting
is
done
through
channel
5.
4.
3GX
GOV
LED
will
lit
green
when
governor
is
active,
red
when
inactive.
1.
3GX
Flybarless
system
is
compatible
with
both
the
760
μ
s
narrow
frame
rate
servos
(such
as
Futaba
S9256,
S9251,
BLS251),
as
well
as
the
standard
1520
μ
s
frame
rate
servos
(most
others).
Proper
frame
rate
must
be
selected
based
on
your
servo's
specifications.
2.
Push
the
ransmitter
rudder
stick
left
or
right
to
select
the
frame
rate.
For
example,
if
rudder
is
pushed
to
the
left
(or
right)
and
STATUS
LED
turns
green,
the
frame
rate
is
set
to
1520
μ
s.
To
set
it
to
760
μ
s,
the
rudder
stick
need
to
be
pushed
from
the
center
to
the
opposing
end
3
times
for
the
STATUS
LED
to
turn
red,
indic
ating
frame
rate
set
to
760
μ
s.
1.
After
entering
setting
mode,
STATUS
LED
flashes
once.
2.
Aileron
and
elevator
rate
can
be
adjusted
independently.
3.
Moving
the
aileron
stick
will
display
aileron
roll
rate
on
the
LED.
The
more
LEDs,
the
faster
the
roll
rate.
Moving
the
aileron
stick
can
increase
or
decrease
the
number
of
LEDs
that
lights
up
between
LED1
to
LED5,
which
sets
the
aileron
roll
rate.
Same
method
is
used
to
adjust
the
elevator
flip
rate
when
elevator
stick
is
moved.
4.
Elevator
flip
rate
is
adjusted
based
on
aileron
roll
rate.
When
the
difference
between
elevator
flip
rate
and
aileron
roll
rate
differs
by
20%
or
more,
3GX
will
automatically
adjust
until
the
error
rate
falls
within
range.
Therefore,
we
recommend
adjustment
aileron
roll
rate
first,
and
then
adjust
elevator
flip
rate.
4.
Adjust
the
maximum
collective
pitch
using
the
transmitter's
swashplate
mixing
function
(pitch
swash
AFR).
Do
not
adjust
individual
servos
endpoints
through
the
servo
ATV/AFR
function.
Should
any
changes
made
to
the
endpoints
or
subtrims
on
the
transmitter
in
the
future,
the
3GX
flybarless
system
initial
setup
must
be
performed
again.
5.
3GX
throttle
governor
has
throttle
safety
built
in.
If
throttle
isn't
lowered
to
minimum
during
3GX
startup,
governor
function
will
not
activate.
Restart
the
3GX
with
throttle
lowered
all
the
way
down.
6.
The
following
two
requirements
must
be
met
in
order
for
governor
to
activate:
(1)
Governor
switched
on.
(2)
Throttle
position
is
at
30%
or
higher.
5
.Moving
the
related
control
stick,
LED
will
automatically
jump
to
the
set
rate
display
of
the
specific
stick
function.
For
example,
moving
the
aileron
stick,
LED1
to
LED5
will
display
aileron
set
rate.
Moving
elevator
stick,
LED
to
LED5
will
display
elevator
set
rate.
