Hello, I have Spirit RS on my 580 Kraken Nitro

On the maiden flight I had the Gov 'enabled' in my transmitter, and set my 3 flight modes

[THROTTLE CURVES]

Normal: Linear
Idle 1: 70 flat
Idle 2: 85 flat

TH HOLD is 9% (idle)

In regular flight there is no difference in RPM when changing between Normal/Idle 1/Idle 2. When doing a negative pitch pump, motor revs down uncomfortably close to a stall.

Can anyone assist? This is the first Nitro with Spirit and also JETI. Thank you

Hello,

I do not recommend to use Linear throttle curve, instead spoolup with Governor engaged.
This should make it smooth and everything should work I hope.

in the above scenario where he is wanting a linear throttle curve for normal mode and a flat throttle curve with governor for his idle up modes would it work better if he also had bank switching on his flight mode switch? then have Gov off on normal mode with a linear throttle curve and have gov turn on with the other banks and flat throttle curves. Would this work or will he have to set all his flight modes to flat curves in order for the governor to work?
