this capability might be another advantage of the direct drive. With the gearbox we want to minimize the starts and stops to save the gears so you never want it to stop in the air. You don't have this problem with the outrunner.

There is a very big difference between how my Cyclon F3A motor and my Hacker C50 12XL starts. The Cyclon just ticks away, while when starting the Hacker on the ground (by pushing the trim forward) the whole model shakes and the motor starts at a fairly high speed. Then I have to pull the trim back 2-3 clicks to reduce the idle speed.
However, the way I see it, (and I have no experience with regulators with brake function, as I use the normal H77 and H90 regulators) is that you don't really want to set up your brake to stop the propeller in flight. (A slowly rotating prop brakes much better than a stopped propeller.)
I therefore have these questions regarding the various regulators:
I have considered the Schulze regulators. With this regulator, is there a risk of stopping the propeller at entries to spins and stall turns? (by pulling the stick too far back?)
Is it the same with the Castle Creations regulators, or will these regulators actually "back off" on the brake power as the air speed decreases?
(Dave Lockhart wrote: "the Castle brake applies a variable amount of brake based on available amount of braking power - ie, when the prop is spinning faster, the ESC will apply the brake harder."
Does this mean that the CC regulators will switch off the brake automatically as the air speed approaches zero??
