  • why throttle V curve in idle2 when using governor?

    I cant figure this out at the moment
    I never fly in idle2 I do not have these skills yet

    but im thinking if i was flying in idle2 with for example the governor at 1720 rpm
    then why i should program the throttle curve in a 'V"

    what i mean is: in idle2 the engine is constantly running 1720 rpm, so how can the throttle curve then be affective?

    im stuck in this, stupid me

    The governor will use the head speed you have programed it to use, in your case 1720 rpm.
    You use the V curve in case the governer fails ie magnet comes off in flight, then the V curve will be used.

    Hope I made sense! lol

        Also, the V does not go down to zero. A nitro curve would be something like 100 70 55 70 100; I guess you could call it more of a U curve. As you go nearer the neutral collective zone, there is less load so no need for as much power. As you go high into the pitch range you need more throttle to maintain headspeed. This is without a governor or if the governor were to fail.

          That's right, the governor reads it's own programing settings. If the governor fails then the transmiters curves will come in to play.
          So V curve it's what you will use when governor it's not used.
