I'm soon going to be starting on flight controls on my A600 kit and am interested in talking engine governors. @David Chow , @Slavik Krassovsky and everybody else that is familiar or interested.
My only experience in piston helicopters is from 40-50 years ago in military OH-13 and TH-55. The TH-55 had an overspeed governor and frankly i can't remember what the OH-13 had. Of course this A600 kit comes with no governor.
Question for everybody, how distracting is the no governor. and how helpful is one. What options are available? I have a @Joe R Huff Sr engine that I will be putting in. My understanding is (I have not yet uncrated the engine) he has an automotive style single fuel control. No fadec, no carburetors. So not sure how that will play in.
Thoughts??
Thanks in advance.
