Can some one give me the low down on Governs. Are they really worth the time and money to install?

You mean "governors", right?

If so, yes they are worth the time and money to install. If you can get the throttle curve and pitch curved matched up, you really don't need a governor.

yes I agree 100% with Ray, a good one works fantastic and is well worth the money, but if you or your good flying buddy know's how to set a nice curve then you may want to save your money till you are a better pilot,,

you will hear people say they want to buy a $100 Head Speed Tach, I tell them "why, when you can have a governor for that price and set the head speed you want and have a smoother better flying heli"

if the money is no big thing and your going to buy one I suggest the Muligov, it's a no-fuss governor that is super easy to setup..

good luck..

Like they said, a governor is not essential to fly but IMO makes flying much more enjoyable. You don't need to worry about throttle curves (which can be a PIA for some), just set a general Vcurve for failsafe in the radio and be done with it. Multigov is what I use and is easy as pie, but there are many others. Spektrum is also coming with an all in one solution for regulator/RX/Governor too. After flying with one, I'll most likely never go governorless again
