Governor not changing speeds

I’ve had a couple times now where the governor on my Spirit GT will get stuck at 1 speed and not change as I ask it. It will usually happen after an autorotation where before I’ve been able to switch between my 3 speeds, but after takeoff it’s now stuck at a different speed somewhere in between. Flipping the switch between them does nothing and it won’t return until after a power cycle.

This was happening the other day with my Nimbus and a Scorpion Tribunus 2 ESC, but I’ve also had it happen with my nitro. I verified that the transmitter was actually changing the throttle value in both cases. A power cycle fixes it.

Any ideas? Logs don’t show any errors.

Hello,

this could happen if:
a) RPM signal is very unstable and Governor will never engage
b) You are changing banks where Governor is not enabled - some of them can be without governor.
c) You are starting motor with Governor turned off and then switching to a Bank where it is engaged.

All this could cause that governor will not engage at all and for this reason changing headspeed will not work.
