I recently installed a Revlock, and in that model I only have a 7 channel reciever, so the code 44 gyro sensing couldn't be used to control the rpm ranges.
In my searching to find a way to do this, I found that in the P Mixes, if the gear channel is selected for the master channel, it can be reconfigured to use the flight mode switch as the master, there by emulating the code 44 function, but on aux 2 instead of aux 3.
It is rather simple to do.
First select code 55 or any of the multi point mixers, and select channel 5 (gear) as master and aux2 as slave.
next, In the mix setup screen, press the "page" button once and it goes to the on/off selection screen, press "page" again, and it leads to the include/origin mix selection screen.
If channel 5 is the master channel, then when origin mixing is selected, it switches the master to the flight mode switch "FMOD".
Next the points will need to be stored, just like sotring a new point in the throttle curve. set one at normal mode, one at stunt 1 and one at stunt 2.
Now the amount of travel can be adjusted to suit. I set a curve that is such: 0, 33, -44, -44, 100. Note that the flight mode switch does not go fully to 0 or 100, so the end points are ignored. This may be different if the extra flight modes are activated.
I think, if it was desired to have the governor turned off, a 0 point could be stored in that position.
This will work great to set up gyros on recievers with less than 8 channels available. I had run mine on the gear switch, and just had normal and HH, but now i can configure it to have a seperate gain setting for any flight mode. I also noticed each channel 5 and above has a different switch or dial assigned to it. I don't remember which is associated with which channel, but the hover pitch and throttle channels can be assigens, as well as the pitch trim levers. These might be a slick way to have finger tip adjustability for on the fly gyro gain adjustments.
This may be common knkowledge to the old pros, but I saw no mention of it in the manual, and I figured it was worth posting.
