Flight Control Notes:
Release Date: April 22, 2026
Trinity Flight Control Update 1.2.0 includes a completely revised CYCLIC and TAIL ROTOR feeling, as well as, GOVERNOR updates including setup safety features and flight performance.
- The cyclic and tail rotor stop will now always try to remain within the helicopters limits regardless how quickly the pilot centers the stick. The cyclic and tail now begin to stop immediately from whatever rotational rate is being achieved at the time, rather than relative to the stick position:max rate. This gives the stops a more natural feel and less chance of bobble/bounce. The system is also more tolerant of slower reacting blades that might not ever reach the commanded stick inputs.
- The governor is actively changing it’s behavior to hold RPM tighter and change the throttle at a rate that fits the engine/motor’s capability. In glow powered helicopters this helps keep from instigating lean spots during demanding load changes as well as on extremely high torque electrics can help the tail hold during big power surges that typically reach the limits of the tail. The heli will feel more power on immediate demand but not have the normal negative consequences of such aggressive changes.
- The governor acceleration rate can now be adjusted for various engine or motor types using the parameter in the GOV APP.
- Several small safety points have been implemented when entering/exiting apps that can control the throttle to try to help eliminate user error in accidental spool ups with electric systems.
- RPM and BANK transitions are significantly smoother and more fluid when parameters and settings change between the flight banks.
- A few algorithm changes and several F3C defaults have been changed in F3C MODE to improve such a wide range of available helicopter and blade types used in F3C, as well as, for helicopters that have limited cyclic throw.
- Improvements made in how the flight control handles saturated cyclic and tail outputs, including when the collective is moving fast, or in extremely high wind.
- More RPM sensors have been tested and proven to work well with the governor. (Backplate and magnetic hall sensor require appropriate voltage regulators for 5v or 3.3v limited sensors):

JR Matrix Trinity Combo Set, Legacy Matrix, and Elite Firmware xx250920 include small bug fixes in powering on and off, as well as, a new warning for changing the Throttle commands (reverse, high limit, low limit, ESC Calibration buttons) to prevent accidental spool up during setup.
