                True! It'll be interesting to hear reports though as to how effective it is! When I replaced a CC ESC (+gov) with a Kontronic ESC on my 700, I could *hear* the difference in the motor - not just in the governor performance, but also just in a normal hover ... I wonder if this will have a similar effect!?!

                  I'm not that experienced with electric setups but I added the V Bar governor to my e700 with phase sensor and compared to the CC inbuilt one it was night and day in performance.

                  I'll let you know how the Vortex one works over the weekend

                    Well, it works. Didn't give it a thorough workout but I did notice a stepping in a piro with cyclic, I'll get more of a chance once I get it dialed in a bit.

                      A quick sanity check, setting endpoints on CC120. I've set throttle channel to Vortex 100/100 (105/106) to get full range then used the endpoint adjustment in the Vortex to calibrate the throttle endpoints to the ESC, right or wrong.

                        yeah thats right Dave. Vortex sees the full 0-100% it wants then set the endpoints for the cc in the throttle setup menu in Vortex

                          Cheers Kev, the manual isn't too descriptive but it made sense to do it this way.

                              Can't see how it would work without one! Pretty sure it's mandatory ...
