    Silly Question!

    I think I am just about to end up with egg on my face but.....

    When using the vortex and the DX7 is Aux2 used?

    If not..

    Can I use Aux2 to switch on/off the governer like it used to when using a stand alone Align gov? - This is not important, just out of interest

    Or

    Does Aux2 on the tx then relate to Aux/3 on the vortex? - can I plug a servo in there if i wanted for example and control it from my Aux2 tx switch

    No egg, I'm pretty sure you can do it. I've got mine working with the flightmodes and you can set it to be off in any of the modes

      In the long term I would just have the governer on in all modes, but for the first few setup flights I thought it would be quite nice to be able to switch it on and off for all modes from the tx.

        I wouldn't worry about it mark, it works very well. I just set mine with 1 headspeed because thats the way I fly and I can't fault it.

            Mark, the governor stick % start up is default at 25%
            I just wound it up to 35% while setting up this way the it just worked on the throttle curve until 35% then ramped up slowly.
            I think I followed Dave's advice and slowed the ramp up delay a bit more, I think it was 2seconds and we changed it to 3.5seconds.

            Dave, did I say I got the governor working, I messed the settings up before instal/setup.
            I did a model reset on tx and factory reset on Vortex, started setup from scratch and its sweet.

              You can select which channel is output on the Aux/3 port, but you can't plug a servo in there as it is on the wrong side of the Vortex so you can't draw servo power from that port, only the signal.

                In response to the original question. The governor on/off setting is set in each Vortex flight mode. So basically you can have Idle 1 without governor and Idle 2 with.

                You can use the Aux2 to control flight mode selection but most likely you will be using the gyro gain channel as the setup guide mentions.

                  Yes I am using the gyro channel as per the instructions.

                  The diagram in the linked thread is very helpfull, thats what I wanted to know.

                  Thanks
