Phoenix-SHV (F310C) 1.00 Throttle Type Heli: Governor Low "(Helicopter) When this throttle mode is selected, the Phoenix will automatically maintain your helicopter’s headspeed at an RPM that is determined by the throttle signal. Once you determine the throttle % that gives the headspeed you want, your throttle curve should be programmed to be “flat” at that percentage setting (all throttle points set to that throttle %). The following settings must be made in your transmitter’s program; typically one three position switch is used to toggle between the settings:
1. Phoenix must see a zero or bottom throttle setting to arm, so set one flight mode or switch to provide that signal.
2. Then set up a second flight mode or switch setting that will be your “throttle up” switch.
3. Determine the necessary throttle % for your desired headspeed. Start with a flat curve in low governor and measure the headspeed. Move the throttle % up or down to reach your desired headspeed. If you cannot get a fast enough headspeed in low gov, then switch to high gov. When you find the throttle % that produces your desired headspeed, set all the throttle points to that % and the Phoenix will maintain that constant headspeed u as long as your transmitter is sending that throttle percentage. It is not advisable to change throttle speed with the transmitter while in governor"
Phoenix-SHV (F310C) 1.00 Throttle Type Heli: Governor High "(Helicopter) Use when Governor Low won’t provide the headspeed you want. Set up is the same as Governor low. Generally, governor low is for high Kv motors. Governor High is for low Kv motors. The reason for the two governor settings is to accommodate all motor system.
Note: Selecting any helicopter specific throttle setting also change voltage ‘Cut Off’ type to ‘Soft Cut Off’’ and disable all brake functions. However, these setting changes are not reflected in the ‘Cut Off’ type’ or the ‘Brake’ settings."
Phoenix-SHV (F310C) 1.00 Throttle Type Heli: Fixed Endpoints "(Helicopter) This is an entirely new mode that is intended to allow you to use manual throttle for flight while preventing sudden high-powered motor starts that can harm your gears. Use this throttle mode if you prefer mixing your own pitch/throttle curves on your transmitter for collective helicopters, or want a “bail out” option when practicing auto rotations. Once the ESC is armed, if you throttle up quickly to a mid-throttle point (or release the throttle hold/cut button), the heli will smoothly spool up to that throttle level. Once that throttle level is reached, full power and throttle response are now available with changing throttle/pitch levels on the stick.

Note that the Throttle Response setting will still serve to act as to modify the speed of throttle changes when this mode is selected. If you wish total control over throttle, select Heli Fixed Endpoints and set Throttle Response to its highest setting (10). Be careful, it will be very easy for powerful setups to strip gears with these settings. To reduce the quickness of the throttle response, and the ability of the motor to strip gears, back down the Throttle Response setting to a good compromise.

You will need to program the following flight modes into your TX to operate a collective pitch heli with the various start and flight modes.

Utilize your idle settings/switch or the throttle hold/cut button for start-up and shut down, then flip into one of the flight modes suggested here:
1. Start-up/shut down (Idle/flight mode) – you’ll most likely want to use a linear “airplane” throttle curve from zero to 100% here, to show the ESC a low throttle for arming, and to stop the motor. You can also set your throttle hold/cut button/switch for zero throttle and use it to arm and shut down in either of the flight modes below. Normal Flight Mode (Idle/flight mode
2. Set your desired headpeed using the throttle % at middle stick and move it up or down to get the headspeed you want. Depending on your motor, you’ll need to complete a “V” curve with slightly higher throttle %’s on either side of the middle throttle point to maintain headspeed with changes in pitch. A good test is to spool up the heli on the ground, and tach the head at full negative pitch. Use this reading to adjust the outermost throttle % to get the desired headspeed at full negative and positive pitch.
3. Auto Rotation with Bail-Out Mode (Idle/flight mode) Think in terms of a glow or gas motor, you never want to reduce the idle to the point that the motor dies. Set Idle 3 for a flat low % throttle curve (explained below) and your regular pitch curve to simulate a motor off situation by flipping to Idle 3 in flight. Your motor will throttle down to your lowest speed setting and allow you to maintain headspeed during the descent with negative pitch and then flair for landing.
If a bail-out is needed, simply flip back to Idle/flight mode 2 and you’ll have immediate power available again without having to spool up. To set the throttle curve so that power is available without going through spool up, start by setting a low % throttle curve for this flight mode, and spool up the heli. Now drop the throttle curve down slowly (noting rpms going down) until the motor stops running. Bring the throttle % back up a few points until it begins running again. That setting will be your minimum throttle % to keep the motor active during an auto in this mode. Set all points on this throttle curve to that %. If you reduce the throttle below this % the ESC will utilize the slower protected spool up routine described above."
