Re: Help With Futaba GV-1 There is a soft start in the GV-1 for the first time it is turned on.
This is done for people that have it set for stick switching so that you do not get a sudden power surge that could either spin the heli or take out the clutch.
For instance, if you are set for a headspeed of 2,000 RPM the GV-1 will take control at around 1,400 RPM. This is such a slow headspeed that the tail is not yet effective enough to hold the heli from doing a quick piro. Also the engine rpm is so low that the clutch does not have full holding power yet and could slip with the sudden power surge.
Once running it will change speeds as fast as your engine can spin it up.
I believe that there is an adjustment for this "feature" in the Super secret menu.
I will have to research this some more to refresh my memory. |
