How to set up GOV mode?

heliboy88 · 07-23-2007, 09:51 PM

Hi guys,

I know why ppl use GOV mode with the ESC, but really don't know how to set it. Can anyone pls tell(teach) me how it is set? Do i need to do something with my throttle curve together with the ESC?
Thank you very much for any advice i can get.

Best regards,
Rich

Depends on the esc your using. But a good starting place is the finless vids on the castle creations HV85.

Hi HFG,

Thanks for the tip, i'll go ahead and download it now.
BTW, I'll be using a Jeti SPIN ESC, any idea? Will it be the same procedures as the CC 85?

Best regards,
Rich

The basic idea will be the same just a different way of doing the actual programming is my guess. Worse comes wot worse sell the jeti and get a cc p35

Hi HFG,

Thanks for the info. If it's that 'worse' i'll sure sell it :mrgreen:
BTW, is it really better to fly the heli in GOV mode or just fly with a flat TC?

Best regards,
Rich

Well... I can say this: Once you go JAZZ you can never go back

This thing makes your flight SO DANG STABLE you can not believe it!
I used the Align 6V 35A without governor mode. When I changed to JAZZ, OH BOY.. what a difference. It flew like a whole different helicopter.

I could not afford a Kontronik for my 600, so I got a 85HV and works pretty well too.. but the jazz for my 450 with governor mode turned on was the best thing I got since the 401+9650 combo :wink:

For the CC35, this is how to set it up.

- Put ESC in fixed endpoint mode (make sure it's set correctly so endpoints are at 0 & 100% throttle).
- Measure the head speed at 85% throttle. I did this on the ground an like -1 degrees pitch.
- Put the ESC in governor mode.
- Increase throttle in governor mode until you reach the measured head speed above.
- Set your idle up to a flat throttle curve at the number found above.

For my CC35, I think I'm running in Gov High at around 56 flat in idle up. It gives me about 2850 headspeed. I'm running a JGF 500TH.

Hope that helps.
