Isn't it a prerequisite with these low inertia lighties to lead every manoeuvre with the RRPM? Left pedal turns pre-governer days in a strong breeze were always a bit busier than normal in the engine RPM department. We were taught to gently hold the collective with our little finger resting on the pole and the rest on the throttle grip so that you could sense the amount of throttle twist applied by you, or the correlator, or the governor. Mind you that governor seems to do a great job when it's working well, but that's no reason to not still lead every manoeuvre with the RPPM.
