Governor not working? I'm sure it's something I'm missing......
I maidened my G570 with a Jive 80+ HV today and all went pretty well.
The steps I followed were: 1. Programmed Mode 1 to reset everything. 2. Programmed Mode 4 3. Programmed Mode 9 4. Programmed Mode 10 (using a Scorpion motor) 5. Used program card 1 to change to Slow Down and change lipo cutoff voltage to 3v I have a flat curve in Normal of 58%, Idle 1- 64%, Idle 2 - 72%, and Idle 3 - flat 0. I use Idle 3 as a second throttle hold/safety measure so that I have to flip 2 switches to spool up in case 1 gets accidentally hit. I didn't do much more than hover, a couple piros in each direction, and some conservative forward flight. I did switch from Normal to Idle 1 but got no change in headspeed. This is my first Kontronik but I feel like it was setup correctly. What am I doing wrong? |

58% to 64% isn't a huge change in RPM. probably only on the order of 100 rpm.

Gearing and number of cells you use, plus the motor specs?

Gearing is standard G570 gearing, it's a 12s setup, using a Scorpion 550kv - 85% eff motor. I used Mr. Mel's hs calculator to get my throttle values. I'll try a bigger range and see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it is supposed to start snowing here today so I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to fly it. |
