| I think the rpm can be adjusted from the transmitter if you have enough channels on your radio to do it, the motor does not need to be shut down to adjust the rpm when changed manually.
Setting up the gv1 can be intimidating for some I guess, but I didn't really have any problems with it after playing around with it for a bit. There are a lot of different settings on the GV-1 and a lot of them you wont use unless you will be using the mixture control function that will automatically adjust your main needle valve on your motor for mixture adjustments on the fly. It has so many settings because it allows you to use it in many different ways, dont let all the setting options intimidate you.
It is true that the gv1 is a little more expensive that the TJ pro. Right now the GV-1 is about $160 and the TJ pro is around $85 as priced today from Heliproz. The thing that you dont see is that the TJ Pro works the best with a high speed, high dollar servo. Add the price of say a Futaba 9254 servo($109.00 from heliproz) to the TJ pro price and the GV 1 is definetly cheaper. The GV1 works great with about any "middle if the road" servo such as a JR ds811 which is less that half the price of a Futaba 9254. To me, the price difference without adding the servo doesn't mean squat. I would rather have the ease of use and the many options that the GV1 allows.
The weight difference between the two governers is probably less than a half ounce, not enough of a difference to sway the decision based on wieght. |
