Thanks! I mention the podcast in the info for the video, but I guess I should add it to the video itself. There will be a full review coming soon to insideheli-dot-com, but here's the basics:
a tach is probably the best way to do it but i do not have one myself or someone that has so i have to do it with math for now. Will post a video of my swift with this setup ones i have got it flying.
I also bought a platinum ESC 80A for my swift, spool up is interesting! How do you rate the governor it sounds like it's holding the head speed quit well. Still not sure what to make of the manual for calculating the head speed tho.
The governor seems to be pretty decent. Not quite like the Jazz in my Protos, but what is? I haven't tried to calculate the headspeed, a club-mate has a 'sky tach' so we set it to what I wanted by dialing it around in the radio and checking it with the tach.
Hi Chris, Smooth flying ! can You post the full setup You're using?
You should mention the podcast show that you have for those that don't.know.

Yep, it has a label on the side and you can clearly see it spin up. Neat!
