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.?/p>

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.
