Nitro Governor - When enabling the governor or when recovering from an autorotation the throttle increases up to full throttle and stays there
- Nitro helicopters react very sluggish during when initially opening the throttle. Especially when the clutch is worn out it can take a lot of time until the rotor gains head speed while the motor already runs at full speed, trying to spool up the rotor. Now when measuring the motor speed at the clutch, the governor will open throttle and stay at full speed as it detects the desired speed seems to be faster than the helicopter allows. So you need to prevent the throttle from opening too fast during spool up by decreasing the spool up rate (PARAMETER MENU point J) or quick change rate (PARAMETER MENU point K).
- Make sure the headspeed is set correctly in the radio and is not higher than the helicopter is able to turn. Always keep enough space for the governor to govern, meaning the headspeed should always be equal or lower 80% of the maximum speed.
- Check settings of gear ratio and signal divider. If these are not correct the system is not able to calculate the headspeed from the motor speed correctly. Especially when using a sensor with magnet pickup make sure to set the signal divider correctly to the amount of magnet triggers. Note that the magents usually are directional and only will trigger the sensor when they are mounted in correct orientation.
