what governor?

[baby_zyklon]

Other than the gv-1, what governors do our local shops carry?tj pro?rev max?

[Brandon Chng]

personally i would get the rev max or tj pro from overseas. shipped in its still much cheaper than the gv 1. besides, gv 1 apparantly has some lagging issues which the high speed mode of the tj pro and rev max solved...

[baby_zyklon]

was thinking of ordering the tj pro from overseas(cyberheli) since it cost less than $150 shipped...but me no credit card leh...any other alternative method of payment?

[Brandon Chng]

i can order for you but you pay me by bank transfer lor

[baby_zyklon]

thanks lot man brandon...pm u...

Anyone using the below and care to share their performance? Curtis Youngblood - Active Throttle Governor
Throttle Jockey - Rev Max

I'm deciding on one of these. Any others good for recommendation? Other than Gv1...

Hi HotDogBun,

I have not used other governor yet. I have recently installed Rev Max into my Raptor 50. According to spec, Rev Max is to used to limit the RPM of the engine to avoid over ram, thus it can be classified as governor as well because you can set the max rpm you wants with it.

I tried out by pumping the raptor up and down and you can hear the engine sound when the Rev Max kick into action to control the RPM of the engine.

One safe side for me that Rev Max will help me to limit the RPM and will not avoid sudden over ram of the speed which might kill the engine.

I'm using the eMultigov for my eraptor, but there is a nitro version of it. It is available @ SHS or you can order overseas directly from www.aerospire.com

It is working very well for me. Very consistent headspeed.

Replied in the afternoon...don't know why the post never appear.

But anyway, just to share, the governor that I got with brandon's help almost 3years ago is still working great with its original sensor. The TJ pro/rev max are quite small which gives them a very small footprint, so they don't take up much space on the radio tray. You can even stick it onto your rx. Only issue is, you need to find a tach at the field to check your headspeed, but its just a done once and forget thing.

The most interesting governor now would probably be the RL30. Its suppose to be able to reduce your collective when you bog the engine rpm too much.

After reading through the comments it seems that the ATG will change the entire throttle curve to meet the max RPM at 100% curve but the TJ-Rev Max will not kick in unles the speed is over the limit.
If I never read wrongly and I am right, that means ATG will be easily to set?
I am actually quite fixed on ATG actually because of the cost and the comments...
BTW I am using a Multiplex Cockpit 7Chn, and I have no idea how to assign any switch for the Gov, cause there seems to be no switch for assignment ..
Anyone using ATG care to share?
Any comments anyone?

Bun .. ive been using ATG for about a year now .. and am a happy user

http://www.daddyhobby.com/forum/showpost.php?p=199403&postcount=33

as long as you've another spare channel and you can tune the travel of that channel from your TX .. then it can use that for ATG

the ATG .. like most new governor has an indicator that tells us the 'set RPM' based on the blinking LED .. i also tach-ed it with the Skytach tach and found it to be accurate within +-50 rpm

Go download the manual to have a feel how easy to setup .. cant really comment on that since easy or not is relative

The RL30 is a governor + rev limiter in one, top it off with the collective management as a bonus should you decide to experiment with it

[HotDogBun]

Let me count, 2 for cyclic, 1 for collective, 2 for gyro, 1 for throttle. Means I have just nice 1 chn left .... right?
How about setting the gov on the TX? I heard that we can switch it on and off from TX for some gov right?

Ken, keep your poison away I need to study this well first. My OS Hyper not working well the last time, I can't seem to tune it well or I richen it too much.... abit kia si type...

[baby_zyklon]

You need to either do some programming on the tx or get something like a gv-1 with the on-off function. Takes one more channel on the tx I think. But there really is of no real use of gov on off for weekend stick banging. Once you are on a governor, you will not be able to live w/o one.

i use the CSM rev lock and the curtis ATG. both offer class leading performance imo.
