However I think the brushless RC plane motors are good for regen right? I see regen as a feature on the Kelly controllers...maybe it needs Hall effect sensors to work, I haven't studied electric motor design much.
Not sure about brushless RC plan motors. In EV applications, brushless DC (BLDC) is simply electronically commutated DC, which is actually fairly similar in some ways to AC. These can do regen.

Some Kelly controllers say regen on their description, but I have not heard of anyone successfully making it happen. Kelly controller descriptions say a lot of things.....
