- Page 12 Please follow the below steps to setup the governor on your ESC. What it does A Governor is designed to Govern the speed of your main rotor blades. In basic terms this means that the ESC will try to keep the same rotor blade speed (set by you) regardless of the amount of pitch on the main blades and load on the motor.
- Page 13 2. In your radio you need to set your throttle curves to the % of throttle you wish to operate your governor at. It is a good idea to use a head speed calculator first to find out an estimated target HS you wish to achieve. 3.
- Page 14 Governor Correction (GOV) button Modes 1-3 will not compensate for no load conditions. For example if you are hovering and pitch down (negative pitch) the power needed to keep the motor at the set RPM will be less the ESC will allow the rotor blades to fall the to right speed under their own weight Modes 4-6 Will compensate for no load conditions.
