Weads - do you mean that following an engine failure (or throttle chop) the Nr decays slower at 50 kts than at other speeds?

If so then it will be because 50 kts is about min power speed for a Robbie and you will therefore have least collective pitch applied to maintain straight and level at that speed - therefore Nr decay will be slower (but still bloody fast).
