I'm not concerned with running the Governor on my 450 nor my 500 but I was curious about running it on my Trex 600, if for no other reason than it would be something new to learn. Currently, I've disabled the Gov Mode and I'm running fixed endpoints and the helicopter seems to be very rock solid. So, as it stands, "since it's not broke, I'm not going to fix it". I don't fly any hard 3D. In fact, my 3D is actually very limited...mostly out of fear, lol. I love the sport flying, fast and slow passes, loops, rolls, pitch pumps....the simple stuff.
I got talking to a guy at my LHS today and he said that Gov mode is over rated and really only needed if you are executing tail slides. I listened to him, remembering that he is entitled to his opinion and that's how I took it. I was under the impression that Gov mode would be advantageous when you are flying SMACK maneuvers because, while giving hard collective inputs, the headspeed wouldn't drop as much, therefore giving you an outstanding flight "performance". Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps I'm close and just not seeing the whole picture.
For those of you that do have your Governor enabled, can you explain to me "Why?" The guy at my LHS told me that my 600 was designed to run higher headspeeds, than Gov mode can offer, and I'd be better off with the Fixed Endpoints. I have no problem staying with fixed endpoints, because like I said, my 600 is rock solid now, but "why" would I be better off with Fixed Endpoints vs Gov mode?
Thanks guys!
