• Throttle Servo Type - Select the throttle servo type or ESC you are using. Once the correct servo type is selected you may plug the throttle servo or ESC to the SV5 port of the Vortex. KBUG: The BEC in Kosmik ESCs shuts down and power cycles continuously if a throttle signal is not provided within a few seconds. However, some RC receivers do not always link fast enough. The KBUG option bypasses this issue by providing a fake throttle signal to the ESC until the receiver has linked.

| • Governor Type - When 'Inhibit' is selected the governor function is disabled and the transmitter throttle signal is channelled to the SV5 servo output. Select this option when using the governor inside your ESC. When 'MixOnly' is selected all throttle mixing functions and throttle endpoints of the Vortex operate however the governor function is disabled. Finally, option 'Nitro' activates the governor function with optimisations for nitro type engines. Additional governor types are in development. |
• Connect RPM Sensor - We recommend using a Spartan RPM sensor (Part no: SRC-RPM or SRC-RPMK including engine mounting brackets) which is designed to work with your Vortex. Some 3rd party RPM sensors may also work. See knowledge base topic 151 on the Spartan website for details.

| • Throttle Servo Direction - Operate the throttle stick and observe the servo moves the correct way. Reverse as required. |
| • Throttle Idle Endpoint - Adjust the servo endpoint for the approximate idle position. |
| • Throttle Max Endpoint - Adjust the throttle servo endpoint so the carburettor reaches the fully open position. |
| • Gear Ratio - This is the gear ratio between the engine and the main rotor. If you are unable to find this information in the helicopter's user guide you can calculate it by dividing the number teeth of the main gear by the number of teeth of the pinion gear. |
| • Complete - The throttle setup is now complete. Please proceed to the heli wizard. |
