I fully agree Rotorbee and a tail rotor that would lose effectiveness at any time should neither pass.
The spinning of the Cabri is not stopped either because there is a failure or because the pilot has a much too centered pedal position. Full right pedal makes the quickest stop but is not mandatory. The Gazelle tests have shown that the headwind hover pedal position was sufficient to stop the turn in less than 360°.
