In a real auto, as a result of electrical failure, there will be no tail rotor operating, as it is run by a potentiometer adjusting electric power to the 7 rotors.
In a real auto, will the dead electric motor drag the RRPM down, or is there a freewheel unit?
In a real helicopter, they keep the electrics where they belong, in batteries and generators, not running the show.
