Throttle Jockey 
   Add to basketBasketAdd to favourites
***IN STOCK NOW***

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.

    Advanced Servo Buffer  
       Add to basketBasketAdd to favourites
    The 605SB is FMA's latest, microprocessor controlled in-line servo buffer.

    The 605SB is FMA's latest, microprocessor controlled in-line servo buffer. The 605SB was designed specifically to provide 100% reliability when interconnecting the Co Pilot (CPD4) with Futaba PCM receivers and is guaranteed to provide smooth operation on both pitch and roll channels. This unit occupies the equivalent space of a standard "Y harness". Linearity is outstanding (1 uS accuracy); i.e., the frame rate, resolution and granularity are essentially analog with little or no “stepping”. Output travels are automatically limited so that servos are never driven against the stop, but the unit will pass extended transmitter throws (140% or higher). The 605SB is designed to amplify the signal between the receiver and one or two standard or digital servos connected to the same channel. Center of control is standard 1.5 ms + or - 0.7 ms (max) for end-of -throw. The 605SB is temperature and voltage stable for model operating ranges. In addition the 605SB also provides RF isolation. Having trouble with long aileron extensions or long runs to elevator/rudder in a big airplane? Install this unit between the servos and the receiver to improve radio performance.

    Specifications: Dimensions; 1.18 In X 0.34 In X 0.32 In; Weight 0.10 Oz (3 gm); Current drain < 1 ma. Input: one microlite servo pigtail six inches long. Outputs: two 3-pin headers that accept JR, Futaba, Hitec or Airtronics Z-style servo connectors; both outputs are buffered for use as a 2 channel "Y buffer" where required.
