Electric Governor

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).

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.

In electric mode the adjustable throttle range is 4200 rpm/min. The lowest rotor speed that can be set is 800rpm/min, the maximum speed is 5000rpm/min. To enable autorotation bail out mode the throttle must be set to a value between 5% and 15%.
