Programming a DX7 for a Govenor!
If anyone could help out in this situation I would appreciate the help greatly. I am switching everything over to Spektrum and when it comes to the Govenor mode on my Raptor 50 the book says nothing about how to program this. I am hoping it will be an easy fix, but I hate to just dive in if someone has been doing it already.

RE: Programming a DX7 for a Govenor!
What kind of GOV are yo ugoing to use?
I am using a Throttle Jockey Pro. on my Raptor 50 w/ DX7. I'm using mixing to get the desired results. Inputs work as follows: Flight Mode Switch toggles between 3 RPM settings. Normal mode runs at a slow head speed of 1550 RPM, Stunt 1 @ 1810, Stunt 2 @ 1850. I'm not going amy higher until I get my Carbon Blades...I'm Running woodies and I'm already pushing it enough for now. My Aux2 Switch is a master ON/OFF switch for the governor and the channel I use to control the gov.
The Three mixes are as follows.
Aux2 > Aux2 60. This enables my gov and sets the head speed at 1550 This mix is always on.
Aux2 > Aux2 15. This adds value to my aux channel raising my head speed to 1810. This mix is enabled when flight mode = Stunt 1 or 2.
Aux2 > Aux2 5. This adds value to my aux channel raising my headspeed to 1850. This mix is enabled when flight mode = Stunt 2.
Basically with a TJ Pro - 4 conditions have to be met for the gov to initially engage. They are: 1. Gov has to of been calibrated. (Done during initial setup.) 2. The Throttle channel must be greater than 20%. 3. The Aux2 Channel must be greater than 5%. 4. The desired rpm must be reached by the heli before it will take over throttle channel regulation.
Basically the value of the aux2 channel sets the RPM of the engine. Once the gov engages, you can change the flight mode switch and that in turn activates the related mix, changing the AUX2 channel output, therefore changing the RPM. I'm not sure what gov your using but thats how mine works.
