{{DISPLAYTITLE:Governor setup menu point D|noerror}}

Similar to [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Governormenu_A/en|menu point '''A''']], menu point '''D''' only serves to give you some status information. At menu point D the different activation points of the RPM Governor will be displayed based on color and state of the Status-LED. So you can prepare your transmitter for use with the RPM Governor function. The information conveyed by the Status-LED is basically the same in every Governor operation mode. However, the setup of the transmitter will be slightly different, depending on whether the mode '''electric''' or '''nitro''' is used.<br />

===Nitro Governor with separate Governor control channel===

===Nitro Governor - with separate control channel===

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 />

===Nitro Governor - Simple mode===

===Nitro Governor - simple mode===

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. The RPM Governor is switched off and the servo output range is doubled, so that the throttle servo can be moved over the entire range. Once the throttle channel is moved (switched) to the upper area, the RPM Governor will activate, spool up the rotor and try to hold the preset rpm. Similar as it was described above for electric models you make the throttle curve a horizontal line, so that regardless of the position of the throttle stick MICROBEAST PLUS will always see the same throttle value and so the preset rpm will stays the same. So at least two flight phases are necessary. One that the throttle curve goes only up to the middle and in which the motor can be controlled by hand, i.e. for starting the motor and one flight phase that activates the RPM Governor and the throttle curve is used to preset the desired rotor head speed.<br />
