After using a 8103 for the last 5 years, I got a new 10X . I just got done converting my Fury from a 50 to a 60 and have installed the GV1. I am not getting the GV1 to recognize the 3 position switch. S1 and S3 are not showing on the GV1 only S2. I have not had a lot of time to go into it yet (hope to this weekend) and I'm sure I can figure it out but I want to know from other 10x users. What aux channels do you have your rpm and on/off channels connected to? I'm running the 649 PCM reciever and a 401 gyro.

Thanks for the input

Don't Like the Knob?

I don't like using the knob to have the headspeed variable. My ears are not calibrated enough to tell the difference between 1725 and 1750 and that will make a huge difference in the tourque band of the engine. I already know what head speeds I want the heli to run at in Normal, Stunt 1, and Stunt 2. So I am using a mix to change the headspeeds with the flight modes. I am using channel 5 for my aux rpm and just set up 2 mixes mixing channel 5 to itself. One mix is only avtive in stunt 1 and the other mix is only active in stunt 2. If you want to set it up this way just let me know and I'll drag out the radio and get more specific.

GV-1

I use Fmod=8 to set the Gv-1 up on the 10x. My GV-1 comes on in normal mode with stick priority and has a head speed of 1500 then in Flight mode 2 it goes to 1650 and in 3 it goes to 1750. If you want to we can get together and i can help you set it up with the GV-1 and 10x together. I aldso have a master switch that I can override the GV-1 and turn it off. Let me know Dave.

Thanks Keith

I may have to take you up on this one. I got the system to work with the aux 4 knob but I want the rpm tied to the flight mode switch. Is the fmod=8 page in the hidden menu? on the GV1 or in the 10X?

Thanks for the help

d-n-jenson,

Thanks alot, you cost me some money. :-) You got me about half interested in getting a GV-1 for my Vigor CS. I also have a 10X. With the cold weather right now it will give me something to do. I'm sure I will have the headaches you have soon enough. I just faxed the LHS to have him add a GV-1 to his next order for me. I hope you get it figured out before mine arrives. LOL Now I need to get the rare earth magnets from radio shack ordered. Not sure of the part # right off hand. I created a topic, I'm sure someone will fill me in on the part #.

Spending your money

I feel it was an honor to help you spend your cash LOL. So far I have spent all of about 1 hour on the GV1 set up. It is now working but the head rpm's are tied to the Aux 4 dial not the flight mode switch. I am using the gear channel to turn on and off the govenor. With a OS 61 sxwc and a Muscle Pipe I do not know if I will even use the GV1 as I have heard that the combo do not mix well. But thats another story.

Some use the rare earth magnets, They have a stronger field and the alignment is not as critical I was told. Im going to want to have the governor on mine set up for off in normal, on in flight mode 1 and flight mode 2. Each setting 1 & 2 at a different rpm settings. I wont want to use the knob either.

I brought my 10x to puyallup today ( Sat ) and was going to show you but didn't see you. Then I forgot it in Waynes Truck so I will pick it up tomorrow and can help you if you can't figure it out.

Let me know

I'm not familiar with that code either. (F mod=8) Where do you access it at. I see where you can use Flight Mode 3 and 4? Can you explain F mod=8 ?
