| here is why the governor does not make up for the throttle curve........
gv-1... you are mashing the sticks, or just flips with collective mashing. full cyclic and collective... whatever it may be. the gv-1 will hold WOT.
mixing... you are doing the same as above. you are in idle up. that means your min. throttle is somewhere 'round 63%-65%... likely it will be higher. your swash to throttle mixing is at 23% min. likely to be higher... somewhere 'round 30%. lets even say that you are particular in your set up and you add 5% right tail to throttle to help the engine in right piro-flips.
you go full collective... in your throttle curve that would be 100% throttle. governor would not be able to add any more throttle. your go say, 7 degrees collective. so you are probable using some some 75%-85% throttle or there abouts. then you add just a smidge of cyclic... remember you have at least 23% mixing. therefore you would be at 108% throttle..in theory anyways. obviously you would only be at 100% throttle. or how 'bout 7 degrees collective, a smidge of cyclic, and give right tail. in theory that would put you at 113% throttle. but really, you would only be at 100% throttle.
right, so are you implying that a governor will give you 120% throttle when you need it? if that's the case, i want your governor.
again, mixing is faster that a governor. governor reacts, mixing comands. as soon as you give cyclic imput, you are giving throttle at the same moment.
go try it on G2. better yet, do it on your model.

And just for the sake of fulfilling your ego, the bike tach has been backed up by an optical one.
Works great every time.
