Thanks.

The vbar e-gov is excellent, SK is reasonable - improving all the time, CC v4.xx is decent (reactive) and the Kosmik gov (reactive) is reportedly excellent too.. Heli/power jive gov. is nice..
Some are better at auto rotation bailout, some are better at preventing overspeeding when unloading the disc.... Like any product there is advantages and disadvantages to all govs. You need to choose the one that fits your needs best..

Got it. Assume the pinion/main gear ratio is consistent to give optimal head speed for 95% efficiency of the brushless electric motor for the voltage supplied by the batteries (easy to do the maths to ensure this for the greatest sensible no-load motor).
360Wings, if building your ideal 700 class heli, which gov would you use and why? This is for your style of flying (whatever it is).
RogerRabit, uses the Futaba GY701 (which works for him even though on a flybarred heli). Cannot tell if it is because it proactive in load management, overspeed sensitive, bailout (soft start) tunable, tunable (and/or switchable) feedback gains, etc...

Too expensive, under-performing and overweight for a 700 size heli. (not to mention inter-component communication hassles)
