Radio - Servo - Gyro - Gov - Batt > GV1 and T Hold Prob's

Fyin my R50 this past weekend and when I switched over to T Hold the Gov would not disengage in Idle 1 or 2.

With the gov switched off T Hold functioned normally..

Any Ideas or just a busted Gov..??

Thanx for your input.

Create a program mix to tell the gov to turn off when T hold is activated? The mix goes to the gov on/off lead.

Please stand by for faster service!

Is the stick switch feature activated in the GV1? Basically this tells the governor to follow the throttle position, i.e. on when throttle above about 25%, off when below (as when in normal or throttle hold mode). if this is not activated then you have to set a mix to tell the GV1 to go to 'off' during throttle hold. Unless you've changed something on the setup. If you changed a servo then you must set the limits again. Just a couple of ideas for you to look at.

Interesting...

I wonder why my other 2 systems function normally.

I have compared the setups in the other 2 GV1's and there appears to be no diff and I am not using any Mix...??

I have the same problem as you. I recently dumped the TT Ace RC Governor and changed to a GV-1 to work with my 7C. I only have 1 spare channel so I used it for Governor on/off. I was surprised too when Throttle Hold doesnt work when Governor is On. So I guess in an emergency like tail rotor failure, I have to remember to hit the Governor Off first, then Thottle Hold.

This is a setup issue. The governor should recognize the throttle servo position and turn off when in T-hold condition.

Try redoing your calibration/limits setup. Also check that your throttle end points are within a +/-10% of 100%.

Enable StSW so that the GV-1 will drop offline at low throttle values, and then hold will work like a champ.

As I said a couple of posts ago

Also with StSw activated yu don't need to plug in the ON/OFF lead as a se[erate channel. If you set all three speeds to below 1000rpm the GV-1 doesn't activated so you can set the motor and curves (if you want) before setting the required RPM.
