• Speed switching and governor ON/OFF may be together using one switch or ON/OFF switching may be performed
using an independent switch/channel.
• When speed setting control uses CH7 and separate ON/OFF switch is not used, CH8 can be used for other functions.
• In-flight adjustment of the head speed (for easy adjustment during tuning) may be created using an additional channel
and a programmable mix. See www.futaba-rc.com\faq\faq-9c.html for details.
The GV-1 controls throttle when it is active, so the throttle will not obey any FailSafe settings preset for throttle in
the transmitter. Always set the FailSafe setting for the GV-1’s on/off channel to OFF. This way the governor is shut
off and the throttle obeys the FailSafe throttle commands.
Setting example: When speed and ON/OFF are using one switch:
• The relationship of the governor speed setting rS1~rS3 and the switch positions conforms to the table above.
• In throttle hold, always check that the governor is off.
• If the speed value rises when the cut switch is activated, reverse the “DIR” setting from +LIMIT to -LIMIT or vice versa.
Expert Tip: Mounting the GV-1 to the counter gear instead of the fan
dramatically simplifies installation in many models.
