Is governor active in all flight modes? Normal mode?
@RobertBurrow875 күн бұрын
Yeah, for now Rotorflight governor is global, not per-profile. Hopefully that'll change in the future though.

i bought two of the Nexus FBL units and two of the RP3-H recievers and have had a nightmare trying to set them up. OK i am new to radiomaster and its setup but after setting the TX and the the nexus i am still left with the thing not working. When i asked Radiomaster they said and let me quote 'All open-source systems are very complex; they are fully open and customizable remote control systems aimed at professional users. '. Well when i was buying these units i was not told this on any web site so let me warn any intermediate flier out there not to even consider buying these as a cheap option for an FBL controller as its unlikely you will get it working. Let me be clear.....For experts it is amazing technology but make sure you fall into that category before buying.

I love my Nimbus 550, I have mine set up as a 650 right now with the RT Ultimate 610s. Just got it rebuilt after blowing up my HW 150. It suffered a pretty serious crash because of it and I ended up replacing a good portion of the heli. I went with the new Scorpion 160 and it seems like a solid ESC for this setup. How do you like your Nimbus 550 and which motor/ESC combo are you running?
@RobertBurrow87Ай бұрын
I have a Scorpion Trib 3 110A and an Xnova Lightning 4020-1200kv. I like it light and I like lower headspeed so it works nicely for me 😁
@Lance57HАй бұрын
@RobertBurrow87 Nice man, love your flying style. Which batteries are you running? I have the Xnova 4025 1120KV. It makes good power for being a 6S setup. I'm thinking about building a Tron Gemini and going for a more lightweight setup. I imagine you're probably running the mini servos as well? When flying at low RPM how much pitch are you running with the Nimbus?
@RobertBurrow87Ай бұрын
@@Lance57H Thank you! I've been running some Hyperion 6s 5000s that I got dirt cheap. They're not the best batteries, but no complaints for what they cost. They were on clearance from a shop closing down. And yeah all Torq mini brushless servos, even yaw. Torq sells a carbon fiber full size to mini adapter plate at Helidirect which is how I made the mini servo fit for yaw. I actually weighed the heli the other day and it was 3066g with battery. Been considering picking up a Scorpion HK5 4015 and seeing how that does because that would bring it under 3kg RTF 👀

Very nice! I ordered a Nexus yesterday, I'll be using my spare XL 550 airframe as the test subject. I may pick your brain soon about settings since it's half-Nimbus. ;) I also contemplated the ELRS receiver, but decided to just use one of the TD MX receivers I was using with the Ikon. Hopefully that wasn't an error.
@RobertBurrow87Ай бұрын
Yeah that will work fine. The only complication with the TD MX is if you want it to report servo bus voltage, you need to have it connected to the SBUS port (which can be adjusted to run FPort), but then you need to run a Y or something to plug in a buffer pack or BEC capacitor.

nice flight bud.... beautiful..... I literally got the exact same setup as you on every component..... I did just order the 650 stretch and 20 tooth pinion. Dont know yet if I will change it.

@RobertBurrow87Ай бұрын
Thanks! I’m actually right around there too, maybe a touch richer on both. It might have just been a really good day for nitro lol. I’m debating going to the 20t gear too because I prefer flying around 2000-2100 rpm more than the 2200-2300 it’s geared for.

I’ve seen on discord Dr Rudder (father of RF) recommend fixing FC as direct to airframe as possible ie dbl side tape so that the gyro gets all the vibration/moving data so that filters can deal with the ones you don’t want as accurately as possible. Gummies not recommended.

Awsome video, any chance you could do a setup video using the Nexus? I would be interested to see what the setup process is like. Considering it has a RPM port, I imagine it has built in governor? How does this governor perform?
@RobertBurrow873 ай бұрын
Now that Rotorflight 2 is released, I think we will start to see setup videos! And yes you really want RPM with Rotorflight because it uses the RPM and gear ratios to filter noise. The governor works very well and is highly tunable. It was written with electric in mind, but there are a few people making it work with nitro too.

Very impressive flight. I'm still waiting impatiently for the M7 to be released here in Germany. I'm going to fly mine with the Spirit GT too, can you post your setup?
@RobertBurrow874 ай бұрын
Thank you! I ended up reinstalling Rotorflight--not because there was anything wrong with Spirit, I just wanted to get more time on Rotorflight 2 RC1. Ideally I'd have one M7 on Spirit and one M7 on Rotorflight! With the setup in the description and Spirit GT, I did not deviate far from defaults. I typically just raise the cyclic gain a few percent, increase piro consistency 10-15 points, and adjust style and feed forward until it feels right. I tend to do nearly the same things to every heli I've had on Spirit. It looks like I forgot to mention I was running the longer 37mm blade grip arms that come with the kit in this video. The 32mm ones work well too, I just wanted to try the longer ones and installed them at the same time as the Spirit GT.
