Hi all

I installed an Align RCE-6600 governor in my Trex 600 NSP. Everything seems to work fine but I am not sure about two things. I have been flying the heli for ages so the engine is run in and my throttle curves are as good as they can be in case you where wondering.

I am using a Futaba T7C transmitter.

1. Do I HAVE to use EPA to set up the limits or can I use the GOVERNOR funtion on my TX to set things up.

Ideally what I would like is for the governor to be off in Normal flight mode, in IDLE-UP 1 I would like it to be on with a certain head speed and then in IDLE-UP 2 I want it to be on with a slightly higher head speed.

2. Assuming I can do what I want to do with the above set up, does anyone have a T7C and what head speeds do you use, and what percentages do you have your governor setting set at on your TX? The manual shows a few examples of what head speeds you can expect at what governor/EPA settings, but they seem to vary quite significantly between differnt transmitters.

I do have a tach so it will be fairly easy to set this up at the head speeds that I want but any info on what I have mentioned with that TX/Governor combo to set things up initially will be great

Hi all

Well, I seem to have found the answer to my questions on another forum, here is his reply for those interested.


I have been running this combo for about 20 gallons...I run the gov in all three flight modes...The gov "sense" wire does go in channel 7 so you should be good there...Here are my settings in the 7C Governor menu:

UP - 76%
CT - 79%
DN - 82%
Mix - On
SW - E
Dir - +Limit

My throttle curves are:
Normal - 0, 25, 50, 75, 100
Idle1 - 100, 85, 70, 85, 100
Idle2 - 100, 85, 70, 85, 100

If I remember correctly, the last time we tached this combo, it gave 1800 in Normal, 1950 in Idle1, and 2050 in Idle 2...

Hope this helps...
