Lots of Bell mediums, bigger than the 169, only had a single hydraulic on the tailrotor, and if you shut Hyd1 off, yes you could still move it slowly with a lot of foot pressure.
169 I don’t know, and there is no way for the average pilot to test without bypassing the lockout logic. Leonardo flight test pilots would know.
