Flight Mode

Fixed-wing:

In “Fixed-wing” mode, the motor will start up when the throttle amount reaches 5% or above. There is no soft start-up, the motor responds to the throttle increase rapidly.

Helicopter (Linear Throttle Response):

In “Helicopter (Linear Throttle Response)” mode, the motor will start up in a very soft way when the throttle amount reaches 5% or above. It will accelerate to the RPM corresponds to the specific throttle amount in the preset start-up time (4~25s).

Helicopter (Elf Governor):

In “Helicopter (Elf Governor)” mode, the motor will start up when the throttle amount reaches 40% or above, it will start up in a very soft way. And it will complete the speed standardization and enter the speed-governing operation in the preset start-up time. In this mode, the motor will standardize its speed every time it starts up. Due to different discharge rates/capabilities of different batteries, the RPM you standardize each time may be a little different. In consequence, at the same throttle amount, the RPM may be a bit different when using different batteries, but this won’t affect the speed-governing effect.

Helicopter (Store Governor):

In “Helicopter (Store Governor)” mode, the motor will start up when the throttle amount reaches 40% or above. It will also start up in a very soft way. And it will also complete the speed standardization and enter the speed-governing operation in the preset start-up time. In this mode, the motor will only standardize its speed the first time when it starts up. When performing RPM standardization for the first time, we recommend using a fully-charged battery with good discharge capability. After the RPM standardization, while you change another battery to fly your aircraft, At the same throttle amount, the RPM should be the same as the RPM of the first flight. For consistent control feel, we recommend using this mode.

Explanations for RPM Standardization & Others:

1.1.The motor will enter the soft start-up when user switches the throttle amount from 0 to 40% or above (50% throttle is recommended). The pitch of main blades should be 0 degree during the soft start-up process, the RPM standardization wants to re-standardize the speed, he needs to set the flight mode to “Helicopter (Elf Governor)” and save this mode first, and then reset the flight mode back to “Helicopter (Store Governor)”, then the ESC will re-standardize the motor speed when the motor rotates for the first time after the ESC is re-powered on.

1.2. For ensuring the speed-governing effect, we recommend setting the throttle amount to 85% or below in both speed-governing modes (Helicopter Store Governor & Helicopter Elf Governor), so there will be sufficient compensating room to maintain the consistency of the RPM. We recommend replacing the motor or adjusting the gear ratio if the expected RPM still cannot be reached when the throttle amount exceeds 85%. (Note: You need to re-standardize the RPM after replacing the motor, blades, body frame or adjusting the gear ratio.)

1.3. In “Helicopter Store Governor” mode, if you fly your aircraft with another pack that has poor discharge capability after the RPM standardization (with a pack which has good discharge capability), the pack has poor discharge capability may be get damaged.
