In 35 years of flying, over 12,000 hours and many types of military and civilian aircraft, i have never experienced LTE.

Many times I have run out of pedal, but when it is on the stops, you have to expect that. Lower the lever, lower the nose, fly away using the margin of performance that you left for yourself.

But never had an uncommanded yaw when I still had plenty of pedal travel available. Crosswind hover, downwind hover, American / French / fenestron, never appeared. Lucky? Or careful? A bit of both perhaps.
