Quick Question About Align Gov

[mewsikman]

Hey guys,

Today I was able to do 6 break in flights on my Trex 700.... I am finding it quite hard to tune the motor either it is lean or sounds rich... But it might be that I dont have to correct throt curves and as I don't have a tach I cant really find out....

Anyway.. I have installed the align gov and got everything working ( I hope )...

Should the green light be on in Normal mode when pitch / throttle stick is right at the bottom??

Its just I don't fancy going out tomorrow an getting a hot start and the thing starts to tear itself to pieces, all because I programmed somthing wrong...

Many thanks in advance

Alex

Yes, the green LED will always be on.

Govenors don't cause hot starts, leaving your throttle in the high position or in "idle up" does that.

Ahhh I see... Sorry im a newb when it comes to govs never used one before...

Also what do I need for a throttle curve?? or do I just leave a linear line??

[Duck Head]

Still use a V curve just in case gov stops working for some reason.

Yes get your curves sorted before going in with the gov :thumbup:

Thanks guys for the replys.....

I was able to test the gov and thanks to PacketSpike for posting info on how to set it up the quick and easy way, other wise I wouldn't have any hair left.....

Now all I need to do is to properly tune the YS91 SR then fingers crossed all should be good......

Thanks guys
