Had an incident yesterday on my nitro model where I landed to adjust the tuning and spooled up a short while later and the governor decided I was trying to perform an 'Autorotation Bailout' and did a fast spool up on the ground, tail kicked out, model tipped over and smashed blades.

Please explain how to DISABLE 'Autorotation Bailout rate' please!

Edit: did some searches, appears throttle needs to be below 12% to disable. Currently my motor idles at 13%, I have played around with the servo end points to ensure idle at <12% to make sure ARB is disabled whenever I hit throttle hold.

I do think that there should be an option to completely DISABLE this feature, I doubt that could cause any confusion. Please consider this.

You are right, when throttle is that high for idling, it will behave exactly in this way.

We will implement it and add new options for setting up bailout.

Hi,

Is there a way to turn off the bailout feature? Or is there another way to work around it. FBL is the Spirit GTR.
