Rudder Gain on overspeed

Hi

I noticed on vbars that when using their governor on overspeeds it will automatically reduce rudder gain to prevent a nervous tail.

Does the spirit also have that feature when using the governor?

To give you some context: I have a heli which has tail authority issues by design and it's not possible to fix them with stock parts. Bigger tail blades are not possible and also the tail ratio cant be upgraded (no stock parts available). So i'm essentially running the heli with rather high rudder gain so that the tail holds also on hard pitch pumps. But on overspeeds the gain is too high and the tail starts to shake.

Cheers
oli

Hi,

our governor helps the tail, but also without governor enabled Spirit has algorithms that helps from oscillations.
But it is not possible to tell you that everything will be perfect. This depends mainly on the model and configuration.
