| Throttle Jockey |
 |
Designed by a model helicopter flyer, the Model Avionics "Throttle Jockey" is a rotor speed governor. This is the latest technology in rotor speed governors. The Throttle Jockey is a high performance, digital speed regulator for model helicopters designed to give optimum engine performance over the full pitch range. It uses an adaptive feed-forward control algorithm to regulate rotor speed. The Throttle Jockey was designed for easy setup and installation too! |
The Jockey continuously adapts to the response of the engine and the demands of the pilot. Aggressive throttle commands, such as 3D flying, cause the Jockey to under-damp the control loop yielding a fast response to changing loads and slowly changing throttle commands, as in FAI maneuvers, cause the Jockey to over-damp the control loop yielding a smooth response to changing loads.
The Jockey employs a pulse filtering system that cleans up any hits or glitches on the auxiliary and throttle channels if used on an FM system. Speed can be changed in-flight by use of an Auxiliary channel on the transmitter. Easy setup and installation. | |
