  • 700 won't take off with the governer on....

    Because the weather's been so pants seems to be taking ages to get this thing set up.....Got it Christmas and only now getting the governer set up.

    The problem is this - it won't fly with the governer turned on 'cos it won't let the engine have any speed.

    if I set the governer to max on the tranny, ie 3000 RPM or something daft, it will just spin up enough to hover.

    Now that kind of implies that the governer is double counting the engine revolutions which means I've got the magnets the same way round.

    However, before I drop the engine out, could it be something else. Its a 3G gryo with everything all in one box, so could it be a setting somewhere that's incorrect?

    thanks,
    Matthew

    Not familiar with the 3G (do you mean 3GX? Didn't think the 3G had a governor?) but if it's like the standalone Align governor then you should be able to turn the clutch bell that has the magnets in it and the light on the governor will change colour when it detects the magnet -you should be seeing this only once per revolution.,

        Magnets in the correct way? And is it seeing both or just one? It should only see one so if it's seeing both, the RPM will be reporting back twice as fast as it actually is, so if you have it set for 3000 it'll only give 1500. End points calibrated properly?

          I'd say tach it, if you get 1500 then you know where your problem is
