Not too much information, but Spartan is working on their new governor, incorporating a mixture control, and a collective management features all into one box. The collective management feature works as the following, “The iGV will use the target rpm to manage the throttle as you would expect. Once the engine has reached it’s maximum output and HS is still sagging, the system will then reduce collective to maintain the targeted rpm setting. All indicators are that you are better off maintaining HS vs having a lot of pitch in the blades and lower HS.”
Looks interesting, and waiting for more information to become available.

Now showing on the Horizon Hobby site, is the Spektrum AR7100R Rev Limit RPM sensor and bracket assembly available separately. Currently not in stock (which is Horizon’s way of saying “not yet available”), the site shows availability by mid-September 2008.
Surfacing just as IRCHA 2008 was wrapping up, an issue was discovered with the aileron wiring on the JR X9303 transmitter. Apparently, the wiring for the aileron gimbal is routed in such a way that it rubs on a chip on the 2.4GHz frequency module. After a short time, the insulation on the wires is worn through, exposing the wire inside. If left unchecked, the wires themselves can short, or be worn completely through, leading to a loss of aileron control and a crash. The good news is that this issue is easily fixed.



Well I am sure that many of you may have been waiting for the 10C. I was surely looking to get one but I wasn’t to keen on the 72mhz/2.4ghz intergration.
