Those who overthink the issue are creating their own problem.
True enough if everything is working normally, but if faced with a tail rotor control problem - then it is best to have thought it through in advance.
"Lucky left/rotten right", as those on the west of the Atlantic are more used to, isn't always the case if the tail rotor goes round the "other" way, i.e. from left to right as you sit in the cockpit.

But this accident looks unusual, as if the little Cabri tripped over its own high heels!
