Guvernor, Am I missing something?

[Gate88]

At last I have a sensor that works on my CY ATG.
Yesterday I tried to set it up using the manual that several forum members had kindly sent me >>

It all seems fine until you get to section "F" it says....

To see the RPM lights, move throttle near mid stick and push
the "P" button once. The light will start flashing indicating the RPM. See list below.

Now for the life of me I cant find anything that says what lights indicate the various RPM's.

Am I missing something?

Hi Gate88

<1600 green flashing fast
1650 1 green flashing
1700 2 green flashing
1750 3 green flashing
1800 1 red - 1 green flashing
1850 1 red flashing
1900 2 red flashing
1950 3 red flashing
>2000 red flashing fast

2 and 3 flashing means a sequence of flashing then a pause, eg, red, red, pause etc

Hope that helps

Sorry to hijck the thread but WTF is a Guvernor?? SP.

I have canged my ESC on the Blade 400 to an align one and it says something about heli modes, both are the same but one is with and the other is without guvernor

Just found this,

A device connected inline with a nitro helicopter's throttle servo and the receiver, the governor has a sensor on the engine and is used to regulate the RPM of the engine. The desired RPM is set on the unit before flight, and the governor monitors engine parameters such as actual RPM and temperature, then adjusts the throttle setting accordingly to give a constant head speed.

So i take it i do not need to worry as the Blade 400 is electic

Electrics can have governors, too: I believe the align ESC has a governor mode that isn't very good; I use a Kontronic Jazz whose governor seems fine to me, and gives me one less thing to worry about tuning.

I (or someone else) really needs to improve that text

Ok, thankyou

I think will stick with the non governor mode for the mo. LOL

Cheers
