Hi J42, I don't believe any do, I think you will need 7 channels I'm afraid.

I'm only using 6 channels currently, but for my level of flying mild aerobatics, I don't think I need one right now.

Hi

CSM Revlock 10 will work with 6 channels, it will come in when your throttle is raised above a certain point and go off again when it's lowered

The revlock 10 or 20 (not sure about the 30 or 40) should work with 6 channels but you just wont be able to use the remote switching mode.

You can use a gov on six channels but you can only set one headspeed.to remotely switch headspeeds via your TX you need the 7th channel.
CSM revlocks can be used on a 6 channel setup as they have a built in gain pot to set the headspeed directly from the gov

I told you I was only thinking 7 channels would be needed!

I don't see the point of this, what if you are using idle up? I need to read more on what Govenors do me thinks!

[Rotorhead]

The point of it is on idle up your entire throttle curve would be above the threshold that it activates at (25% iirc)

[Ant D]

It will give a more stable head speed as well which improves things some

Sorry just read on a bit more and answerd the question.

Is it possible to set up for inverted with the Governor set up in manual on a 6 channel TX/RX?

[Rotorhead]

If your transmitter can do idle up curves then yes, if you make sure that no point on the throttle curve is below 25% throttle then it should stay in governed mode all the time in idle up.

It may be best that when you start up, spool up, but before take off flick into idle up, then take off and fly.

When you land flick idle up off and it will exit governed mode when you lower the throttle below 25%.

Aerospire MultiGov allows for one speed to be set when not using selection from TX. A very good governor.

I must admit I love the Aerospire Gov now far better than others and easier to use as well

[tonystevens]

Multigov is the best gov i have used

The Curtis Youngblood ATG is also able to work without using a channel for rpm setting from the RX.
