I wonder if you will have to do the same thing with the vbar.

Yep, I had switch two of the wires, as apparently the EagleTree doesn't use the same standard. Red and black swapped, now that I have checked, signal was in the right place.

I am guessing we will have to swap as for both FBL units we are plugging into the servo bus and it has positive in the middle of the plug.

The upcoming Vbar governor will be interesting depending on how "torque-aware" both the control surface input/out and throttle output are connected. Knowing tail torque precomp is needed and applying it simultaneously (or just prior to) increasing throttle output should make for a very smooth flying setup.

Of course us guys flying Kontronik will be out of luck until they come out with V10 firmware; the V9 firmware has a slight delay on throttle channel input vs output so the Vbar governor doesn't play nice with it.

All the quad (or higher) copters work with modified esc's that can take i2c input and can update the motor speed every .5ms or less!
I wonder how Mikado's gov will work on electrics. It has all the parameters to outperform every traditional governor except that it will never be able to get corrections to the motor as fast as a build in governor can...
