My advice is don't bother. Of what practical use is the data?
When a helicopter explodes in your face because you were running too high of a headspeed you will understand the use of the data. I know some people are running 3000 rpms on TRex 450's and metal heads. Go too far over the limit on a bigger helicopter's plastic head and you will remember this thread.

Well - Here's a little something that will illustrate exactly what Rafael is talking about - You can see what overspeeding your rotors can really do. All of the damage happened in the air, and was strictly due to excessive head speed.
