Figuring out and Setting of HS RPM level with Jive Gov.

[WBFAir]

Hello all

I apologize that I don't have much experience with the Jive Gov and I'm guessing this is a real basic Governor question but..

To this point all I've ever had was Castle units and to set the HS RPM, yes you would have a certain range via a pinion choice, but then after that, you used the software and set it to an exact number. So if say I wanted 1900 RPM, I chose that and it would tell me which pinion to use per percentage of throttle I would be using, all to get that to happen.

But then regardless, once selected, it would do that no matter what.

But with the Jive, is it where I use a HS calculator such as MrMels, and then choose a pinion and then look at what RPMs that gives me per percentage of throttle amounts.

Then based upon what throttle percent amounts I am told to use for the Gov, I choose what pinion gives me the RPM I'm looking for at the throttle percent I am told.

In other words

I want about a 1900 RPM HS, and the Throttle percent the Gov is recommended to run under is 60%

So I use the calculator with a 10 tooth pinion and the result I get from the calc is that at 60% it will run at 1638 and won't give me 1900 till between 85-90%

So then I try a 12 tooth and at 60%, that gives me about 1966.

So since then that is a bit high, I try a 11 tooth and while that is only 1800 @ 60%....at 65% it's 1859, and 70% it's 1915.

So this means that somewhere in between 65% and 70% is 1900 so maybe I could then just push things a little above the recommended Throttle percent seeing as its not to much, and test things and see where between 65% and 70% Throttle at zero pitch is 1900. And then fly that an see how it feels.

So is this the basic concept as to how to figure out the correct pinion with the Gov for what RPM you are looking for with the Jive?

Thank for any help.

That should be answered here.
