An Overview of the Company's Entire History
1995 -The beginning
The Founding
With the introduction of lithium batteries, the world of electric model aviation was undergoing a fundamental transformation. Electric motors were becoming increasingly popular, but they required high-performance electronic speed controllers.
Heino Jung saw this as an opportunity and founded the company “YGE Heino Jung.”
From the very beginning, the focus was on electronics for model making, particularly on electronic speed controllers for brushed motors.

Late 1990s
Specialization in Brushless Controllers
In the years that followed, YGE increasingly established itself as a specialist in brushless speed controllers.
These controllers perform a much more demanding task than a simple electronic switch: they must control the three motor phases of a sensorless brushless motor in such a way that the motor starts reliably and can be operated in a controlled manner across the entire speed range.
Start-up and control behavior posed a technical challenge, especially with high-pole motors, which were becoming increasingly common at the time.
An important technical topic of that time was motor timing. Correct electrical commutation and timing are key factors in determining how smoothly a motor runs and how efficiently the system operates.

2000-2002
Development of a Product Family
YGE increasingly developed a product family with different current ratings from individual controller solutions.
This principle becomes characteristic of YGE:
- Not a universal controller for everything, but different controllers for different power and application classes.
This leads to the development of both very small controllers for lightweight models and increasingly powerful devices for larger electric model aircraft.

2003
The decisive turning point
→ From an Electronics Project to the Main Business
2003 marks one of the most important milestones in YGE’s entire history.
In 2003, Heino Jung decided to make the speed controller business his core business.
From that point on, the product line was continuously expanded and refined.

2003 - 2005
YGE gains recognition in the model-making industry
During this phase, YGE increasingly established itself as a German manufacturer of brushless controllers in the model-making industry.
The products were used, among other things, for:
* Electric airplanes
* Helicopters
* Indoor models
* Larger aerobatic models
* and later speedboats as well
The combination of control quality, programmability, and service becomes particularly important.

2005 - 2008
Expansion of the performance classes
In the second half of the 2000s, the product range expanded significantly.
YGE now offers controllers for various voltage and current ranges.
The performance spectrum ranged from 8A to 160A controllers, both with and without an integrated BEC.

2008
YGE becomes a player in the
High-Voltage and Boating Sectors
Around 2008, YGE was no longer limited to the traditional electric aviation sector.
The product range expanded and grew, particularly in the marine sector:
* YGE 120 HV
* YGE 155 Navy
* additional high-current controllers
for electric boats and large electric drives.
The Navy Series is particularly noteworthy: YGE applies its controller technology to applications where water cooling and high continuous load play a key role.

2009 - 2011
Demands are rising
As the performance of electric drives increases, so do the demands placed on the controllers.
More power means:
* higher currents
* higher power dissipation
* higher temperatures
* greater demands on the MOSFETs
* better cooling
* more powerful BEC systems
* more sophisticated software
YGE is responding to this with increasingly powerful hardware and software.
A key point is that a modern controller no longer simply switches the motor power. It is increasingly becoming the central control unit for the entire electric powertrain.

2012
The new generation of Low-Voltage
controllers
YGE is launching a new generation of low-voltage regulators:
* YGE 90LV
* YGE 120LV
* YGE 120LVK
The new series replaces or expands upon older models.
The focus here is on more powerful hardware and greater power reserves.
The 120LV, for example, features a significantly more powerful BEC with 6 A continuous current and 12 A burst as well as switchable BEC voltages of 5.7 V, 7.4 V, and 8.0 V. The 120LVK also includes a heat sink.
A V-Stabi governor signal output was also integrated for helicopters.

2013
The Company grows
New company building in Wallenhorst, new employees, including Marian Waßmuth in the service department, who is now the managing director
2012-2015
Greater focus on helicopters and
demanding applications
During this period, electric helicopters in particular gained in importance.
This requires very precise governor control:
The controller should not simply vary motor power in proportion to the throttle stick, but rather keep the desired rotor speed as constant as possible.
To do this, the controller must:
1. Measure motor speed
2. Compare target and actual speeds
3. Adjust motor power accordingly
4. Respond to load changes.
YGE continues to develop its software accordingly.
At the same time, controllers for fixed-wing models, FAI/competition applications, and boats are being further developed.

2015 - 2017
Telemetry is becoming increasingly important
Another major development is the increasing integration of telemetry.
The controller no longer merely provides drive power; it can now transmit operating data to the remote control or the flight control system.
Depending on the controller and system, this includes, among other things:
* Voltage
* Current
* RPM
* Temperature
* Battery consumption
* Controller states
* Error/event information

2017
LVT/HVT - 32-bit processor and
online update capability
In the early 2020s, the product family will be further streamlined.
The first controllers were the 65LVT, 95LVT, and 120HVT (Opto).
The following are developed or continued:
LVT
Low Voltage Telemetry
for small to medium voltage ranges.
HVT
High Voltage Telemetry
for higher voltages and higher power ratings.

2019
Introduction of the 135 LVT, Texy
and further system integration
The 135 LVT and TexY were released in 2019.
This demonstrates the growing importance of interfaces and telemetry within the YGE ecosystem.
The controller is thus increasingly becoming an integral part of a networked system.

The Aureus 135 and Saphir 155
A Significant Technological Leap!
In 2020, YGE introduced the Aureus 135 and the Saphir 155.
The controller is designed for helicopters and fixed-wing models and represents a new generation.
YGE developed as new techniquea special cooling system called Reverse Cooling Technology (RCT).

255 Opto controllers, Saphir 125
and Aureus 105
Introduction of the Saphir 125, the Aureus 105 and the Opto 255!
The Opto models are particularly interesting because they have no integrated BEC and instead feature a galvanically isolated control system.
Another major highlight here was the peak currents of up to 400A!

2023
System expansion
Additional components will be released in 2023:
* Sensor kit for propeller positioning
* Various adapters
* Accessories
This shows that YGE is increasingly building an ecosystem around its controllers and is no longer selling only individual speed controllers.

2024
Saphir and Aureus V2 and 12V BECs
Development of the Saphir and Aureus series continues.
First generation → Real-world experience → Redesign → V2
The Saphir platform and Aureus series are not simply being replaced, but rather further developed.
One of the key changes was the introduction of the 12V-capable BEC, which is being used for the first time, particularly in the helicopter sector.

Aureus product expansions
One of the newer product families is the Aureus Series.
This series covers an enormous power range in the high-voltage (HV) segment with BEC.
Aureus 105 / 135 V2 / 185 / 265
The current V2 models also feature more powerful BEC systems, anti-spark functions, and many other safety features!
