I was going to create a new topic asking about the above subject, but found the procedure on youngblood's site.
so I'll just post it here for everyone's reference:
Setting Up ATG with the Futaba 14MZ with G3 reciever
The ATG requires that the throttle and Aux (RPM Set) pulses arrive at different times.
With the Futaba 14MZ the signals to the servos from Channels 1-3, 7-9 and 14 (Group A) all are sent at the same time. The signals from channels 4-6 and 10-13 (Group B) are sent at a different time.
Thus with the ATG the throttle and Aux(RPM) channels must be from different groups.
The default throttle channel in the Futaba is Channel 1, and Channels 4-6 are normally used for Aileron, Elevator, and Collective.
With the ATG, the governor function can be assigned to any of the available channels in Group B. We have actually used channel 10 and 11 for this and it functioned fine.
The procedure we used is as follows:
Go to the Linkage Menu
Function
Assign an unused Aux channel to Channel 7 (normal governor channel).
Assign Governor to Channel 11
End Point (ATV)
For Channel 11 set both limits to 155%
Leave travel Adjust at 100%
Go to Model Menu
AFR(D/R)
Select Governor and Make Sure Rate A & B set to 100%
Governor
Set switch condition for each rate
CH 11 AFR(D/R) 100 100
Limit 155 155
Travel 100 100
If you set Governor mode to read RPM for the Futaba governor, the ATG RPM is as follows:
Futaba ATG
2100 2200
2015 2200
2010 2190
2005 2180
1990 2150
1960 2100
1935 2050
1905 2000
1875 1950
1850 1900
1820 1850
1790 1800
1765 1750
1735 1700
1710 1650
1680 1600
1655 1550
1625 1500
1595 1450
1570 1400
1560 Off
1470 Off
