bit of twist to the tower, even with anti-torque arms. Same applies to
stopping,
when it stops, there is no slowing down, it simply stops turning. A
different rotor controller would be needed to allow a softer start and stop.

My intelligent controller (a.k.a. yours truly) simply taps the CW and CCW
paddles when starting and stopping.  Worked for the 1500HD (42' boom KLM 5L
20 & 3L 40) and CDE Ham-X series (34' boom KT-34XA).
