I will use this thread as an example:
http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/align-...d-govenor.html
Particularly your response to me and other members after this post http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/align-...tml#post917137
As you will see, my post has been edited, but I am not of the nature to me offensive, and then edit my post to 'back pedal' I simply added information and fixed mistakes. Any admin will be able to see the previous version of the post before the edit.
Rather than a simple "sorry lads, I still do not quite understand", you had a go and wrote this reply:
I have been a member of many forums over the last 10 years, and I know that emotion can be mistaken on a virtual environment, but you were just plain rude to myself and other members who only joined the thread to offer YOU help.
Don't expect any PM from me.

Valid points from everyone. To some it up, no you don't need one, but it helps. It will maintain a more constant RPM of the blades (head speed) better than any throttle curve you can set up by hand.
You set up a throttle curve so that 50% (half throttle) doesn't necessarily mean you're giving 50% power to the motor - you tweak the response of the throttle to the model, the engine and also your liking.
A governor however, governs the speed of the blade automatically for you. You program it (each brand is different) to maintain a head speed as best it can. Like said above, as you move the throttle stick, the angle (pitch) in the blades increases to give lift. This increase in lift, increases the load to the engine (as said above, like driving up hill). As the load increases, the engine is unable to maintain a constant head speed, so you lose climbing power etc. A governor monitors the head speed using a sensor and a magnet that passes it with each rotation. The governor then adjusts the throttle servo accordingly.
Hope this makes sense.
As said above, you've come here asking for help which is great
We can answer according to your skill level as best we can, however, it isn't the responsibility of members to search your posts and gauge precisely this skill level.
Also, it is very complex but enjoyable hobby, so a lot of reading and research is always involved. Call me a geek, but that's a very important and enjoyable part of the hobby for me
Apologies. I gather this was aimed at my offer to sell the Revlock. No worries, just thought I'd offer!
