the general order is in the manual
the governor i dont think should be turned on at 80% and let go to find its way up because:-
- it may use exessive power to do so,
- it may not be functioning properly.
if the govenor is turned on at 80% i think the throttle should be controled (overridden) by the pilot to ensure a smooth accelleration of the engine and rotor system.
NR -you say the tack's were off the scale, was the engine sounding like it was up there with them??
- also there was a thread a while back on a similare situation with a bigger side effect, i think it was on a thread about active niose reduction headset, the tale boom was severed.
