// @DisplayName: Rotor Speed Control Mode
// @Description: Selects the type of rotor speed control used to determine throttle output to the HeliRSC servo channel when motor interlock is enabled (throttle hold off). RC Passthrough sends the input from the RC Motor Interlock channel as throttle output. External Gov SetPoint sends the RSC SetPoint parameter value as throttle output. Throttle Curve uses the 5 point throttle curve to determine throttle output based on the collective output. AutoThrottle requires a rotor speed sensor, contains an advanced autothrottle governor and is primarily for piston and turbine engines.

This timer should be set for at least the amount of time it takes to get your helicopter to full flight power, ready for takeoff.

The torque rise will determine how fast the rotor speed will ramp up when rotor speed reaches 50% of the rotor RPM setting. The sequence of events engaging the governor is as follows: Throttle ramp time will engage the clutch and start the main rotor turning. The collective should be at flat pitch and the throttle curve set to provide at least 50% of normal RPM at flat pitch. The autothrottle torque limiter will automatically activate and start accelerating the main rotor. If the autothrottle consistently fails to accelerate the main rotor during ramp-in due to engine tune or other factors, then increase the torque limiter setting.
