DX7 G2 with governor

[19trax95]

I bought a new dx7 and so far i love it. Definitely an upgrade from my old dx7s. I have a question though. I fly a older nitro heli that i dont have a governor on. But my father has a nitro heli with the futaba gy611 gyro/governor. I might be setting it up on my radio since he is still on 72mhz and wants to fly again. Im a little concerned with interference, so i would like to switch him to 2.4.

Is there any guides on how to set up the governor on this radio? Is it basically like setting the gyro gains? Ive never setup a governor before besides on my electric heli's and those just are on the esc then a flat throttle curve.

The gy611 is a gyro. Afaik it doesnt have a gov function. the ones I used didnt.
To answer your question a gov sets up pretty much like a gyro.It has a sensing lead plugged into its own channel and you adjust values in gov menu based on a switch position,FModes etc.
When you get to working on it ask more specific questions if you dont understand something specific.
If your looking for a setup quide you might look around youtube or do some searches. Its kind of an older unit but Im sure there is a setup thread somewhere here on HF if you search.

Maybe its the 701 then. I cant recall at the moment. Its at least 12 years old so... haha

I will definitively look on youtube for some setup guides.

EDIT: No that i think about it, i think its the gy601 gyro and a gv-1 governor. And that makes a little more sense for the age of the heli

601 and gv1. That sounds more like it. I ran that combination.Fairly dated but yeah that stuff worked good. The gv1 is pretty simple to setup but all the steps can be confusing at first. Go step by step from the manual. Pay close attention to how your going to setup the failsafe. Ask questions about specific details when you get to them if your not understanding something once you get into it.

So if im just swapping out the receiver, i still need to set it up again? His heli is set up and all, i just wanted to swap receivers so it can be 2.4. I know ill need to set the endpoints for the servos and all, but i would have thought the gyro and governor setting would stick the same

For the most part thats probably true. You still want to run through every step and confirm what you have and why. You also want to reconfirm that the way it is setup now is going to maintain adequate voltage for the 2.4 system. Dont make assumptions.Check and recheck everything. Same as you would for an initial setup.
