This governor was designed primarily for piston and turbine helicopters, as the engines don’t come with a governor (except for JetCat turbines) and buying one is quite expensive.But it does also work with electric helicopters - I tested it in my Synergy 626. The only difference with electric is the droop response setting. Electric motors have a quite flat torque curve so they don’t require as much droop response as combustion engines. However, unlike combustion engines, the speed of an electric motor droops as the battery voltage falls. This is where the governor will come in handy for an electric (if your ESC don’t have one).
Since most people use ESC’s with governor already built-in, I suspect the governor feature will be primarily used by people who fly pistons or Wren turbines.
I would like to ask a very stupid question, if you use the electric motor h_rsc_mode=4 mode, do you need to install Hall sensors and magnets on the head of the helicopter?
