	In '''electric''' governor mode the pilot does no longer control the speed controller with the transmitter. MICROBEAST PLUS completely takes over control of the ESC. With the transmitter you only specifiy the desired rotor ~~rpm~~ you want the helicopter to maintain. When setting a ~~rpm~~ higher than ~~zero~~, MICROBEAST PLUS will speed up the rotor smoothly and ensure that the demanded rotor ~~rpm~~ is kept constant throughout the flight. To practice autorotation landings, additionaly you can keep MICROBEAST PLUS in a special mode that causes the speed controller to be switched off during the maneuver but speed up the rotor ~~rpm~~ fast when aborting the autorotation (faster than with the initial soft start).<br />		In '''electric''' governor mode the pilot does no longer control the speed controller with the transmitter.

	The rotor ~~rpm~~ is set via the throttle channel of the transmitter. You may use the ~~transmitter‘s~~ throttle curves for instance, so you can switch the motor on and off and pretend different speeds using the flight mode system of the transmitter. Instead of curves you ~~only~~ have to set horizontal lines so that the ~~rotor rpm~~ value does not depend on the throttle stick position but is fixed in each flight mode. The flight mode switch then acts as a switch that switches between different speed settings.<br />		The rotor speed is set via the throttle channel of the transmitter.

	If no separate control channel ~~is used~~ for the ~~RPM~~ Governor, throttle servo and ~~RPM~~ Governor are solely controlled by the throttle channel. For this purpose the control range of the throttle channel is divided into two parts: Below the center position, the throttle servo is controlled manually by the throttle channel.

	A third flight mode is used for ~~auto-rotation~~: Here the throttle channel ~~is constantly~~ set to a value close below center position (between 40% and 50%) .

	When the '''nitro''' Governor mode is used, the throttle servo can be controlled entirely via the throttle channel of the remote control as long as the ~~RPM~~ Governor is switched off. This is especially necessary to start and warm up the engine as well as to stop the engine after the flight. Only when the ~~RPM~~ Governor is switched on, the system will take over control of the throttle servo to spool up the rotor to the desired speed (if this is not yet reached) and ensure that the rotor speed is maintained during the flight. As some model engines react very sensitive in the lower throttle sector and abrupt engagement can cause the engine to quit, i.e. when the clutch is not fully engaged and/or the rotor is not yet turning, also the manual throttle control can be of advantage. The pilot can run the engine to speed "by hand" before control is passed over to the ~~RPM~~ Governor.<br />		When the '''nitro''' Governor mode is used, the throttle servo can be controlled entirely via the throttle channel of the remote control as long as the Governor function is switched off.

	<br />		<br />
	Depending on whether an auxiliary channel was assigned to control the RPM Governor in Receiver setup menu or not, the RPM Governor is either controlled separately via this channel or you can control both RPM Governor and throttle servo alone by using the throttle channel of the transmitter. In general the adjustable ~~throttle~~ range in ~~„nitro“~~ mode is ~~2500 rpm~~/min. The lowest head speed to govern is ~~500 rpm~~/min, the maximum head speed is ~~3000 rpm~~/min.<br />		The adjustable rotorspeed range in "nitro" mode is 2500rpm/min. The lowest head speed to govern is 500rpm/min, the maximum head speed is 3000rpm/min.<br />
	<br />		<br />
	If a separate control channel is used for the ~~RPM~~ Governor the throttle servo can be controlled as usual via throttle channel and throttle curves of the transmitter. By switching the separate control channel in different positions, the ~~RPM~~ Governor can be activated and the desired rotor ~~rpm~~ can be preset. Note that for safety reason the throttle channel has priority over the ~~RPM~~ Governor ~~when~~ the output is below 25%. So you can always control the lower throttle servo positions by hand, even if the ~~RPM~~ Governor is already switched on. ~~Then~~ when the throttle is raised above 25% the ~~RPM~~ Governor intervenes and ~~spools~~ up the rotor. ~~Also~~ when you want to bring the throttle servo to idle position for autorotation or to shut off the engine you can always do this, regardsless of how the ~~RPM~~ Governor is ~~switched~~. ~~Anyhow keep in mind~~ that MICROBEAST PLUS will be set to ~~autorotation~~ bail out mode if the ~~RPM~~ Governor ~~is switched on~~ and the throttle channel is brought below 25%. ~~When~~ throttle ~~then~~ is increased again, the ~~RPM~~ Governor will speed up the rotor faster than on initial spool up! Therefore if you make a stopover and the rotor is completely stopped, the ~~RPM~~ Governor ~~must be completely disabled~~ once ~~by using~~ the separate control channel. So the ~~RPM~~ Governor is reset and will perform an initial startup again. Otherwise ~~if autorotation~~ mode would still be active, the helicopter ~~may~~ tip over due to the abrupt speed up ~~(this does not apply if you set the bail out spool up rate at [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Parametermenu_K/en\|Parameter menu point '''K''']] as high as the initial spool up rate)~~.<br />		When a separate control channel is used for the Governor function the throttle servo can be controlled as usual via throttle channel and throttle curves of the transmitter.
