Hi all...I just picked up another Intrepid 60 for my fleet, couldn't resist, it was built and zero flight time on it for a great price. It is the stacked frame 60, YS-61 ST2, Futaba 9202'2 and Futaba 401/9253 for tail, GV-1 and 680 V-blades. Ok, now here is my question. I've never had a GV-1 on anything before, this one is mounted in a Strong Box, which has a window fitted to the top so the display of the governor can be seen. Is this the best place to mount this, or should it be somewhere more accessable? Like I said, I've never had one on a heli, don't know what to expect as far as messing with it for set-up, are they a set and forget type of thing, or are you constantly having to adjust them?.....Coop

Coop,

I mounted my amplifier in the angled section of the forward frame on the stacked frame...the part that has the 1/4"x1"x1" plate. When I was running a GY-501 gyro I made a mounting plate approx 2"x 3" and put both amplifiers there. The strong box should be fine, but I like the convience of the location I used...really easy to make adjustments and setup...plus it looks great...nice and sano installation. By the way...you will love the governer, just make sure all your engine adjustments are done with the governer OFF because it will try to mask the problem by compensating fir increase of decrease rpms.
