Governers

Smart carb Works off a temp sensor placed in cylinder head and operates via a servo connected to main needle. No extra RX channel needed - just power supply via Y-lead etc.

Controls fuel mixture by monitoring cylinder head temperature.

Simplifies mixture adjustment.

**Helps protect engine **

Makes mixture less critical to weather changes.

Allows higher, more consistent, power output.

Requires a servo and linkage for use,

does not require a radio channel.

CarbSmart is used in conjunction with a servo connected to the main needle of the carburettor to adjust the mixture in flight dependant on the cylinder head temperature.

The unit has a user selectable target temperature. When the head is below the target temperature the unit moves the mixture towards the leaner direction.

The extent to which this is allowed is again user adjustable.

As the head reaches the target temperature the mixture is richened to the standard setting and as the head temperature exceeds the target value the mixture continues to richen until a user adjustable limit is reached.

The gain of the system is also user adjustable.

Benefits at a glance

automatic activation and deactivation, depending on the operational status of the model (motor switch position, stick inputs)

all voltages can be monitored separately via telemetry

charging currents are adjustable, both for initial charging and for topping-up during operation

recharges automatically and immediately whenever needed

companion App warns the pilot whenever the backup is used

this unit ensures the everyday operation of your valuable models

Hardware features
