Thank you for the video. Yes, indeed it is wrong behavior.

Could you please send also your current settings?

Please check if your Throttle channel is assigned in the Channels window (usually to Channel 1). Because if it is not assigned, then unit can't know when main rotor is spinning. Instead it is verifying by vibration level and stick movement (whether the model is flying) but this is usually not fast enough.

i've made a sticky mix on my taranis, to pump in some quick rudder for the time being.
Gonna test that out tonight.

Thank you for the details.
I can't find anything wrong.

But if you still can't make it work I can provide you a new firmware/software which should help, also regarding performance.

As far as we know there is no issue. You can calibrate the Rudder ESC throttle range in the Limits tab now.

THX - I'll do some more test on this.
Do you have a guide to link "Throttle Hold" to the tail motor output as well.
When I looked into the SW - I was not able to identify the right channel to link.

But as usual, once set - nobody does the proper documentation.
The hint you have to do it "there" is not sufficient - and a screenshot for the proper setting can ease up my life ;-)
Support is highly appreciated - THX

I am having the same problem, the rudder motor will not start when the main motor spools up. It does start when I move the Rudder stick.

I have calibrated the Rudder limits as per your instructions. My low setting is 98, and my high setting is 150.

Is it mandatory to have an RPM sensor wired? For simplicity and minimum weight I was planning to just use a throttle curve instead of using the governor, because it is only a 120 size micro.
