CP pro brushless ESC setup
Motor is HiMax 2015 4100kv 10t pinion. I am using a Phoenix-25 ESC from Castle Creations.
Question is about ESC setup of "throttle type". Which one would be best low or high?
Option # 3: Governor mode - Low RPM Range
Option # 4: Governor mode - High RPM Range
Notes say:
NOTE: Governor mode acts as an RPM control, rather than a throttle control. Throttle stick position determines the RPM that the motor runs and the controller will attempt to hold that RPM regardless of load
changes. This is useful in a collective pitch helicopter where a constant head speed is desirable. The low RPM range has finer RPM control at lower RPMs, and the high RPM range has finer RPM control at higher
RPMS. The low RPM range is useful for low pole count motors (Hacker, etc.) and low RPMs on higher pole count motors. The high RPM range is useful for higher pole count motors and higher RPMs. Brake is
ALWAYS disabled in Governor Mode.

RE: CP pro brushless ESC setup
Lanny,
I have never found a governor mode that I liked. They all seem to cause more problems than they cure.
Go with a throttle curve which is very easy to do on the CP and you will be better off.
Start with a linear curve and adjust the hover mode to give the desired stability.
