Woolf, you suddenly made me wonder if my information was correct. Then I thought about autorotation.

With the airflow up through the rotor (and of course the tail), what happens? If it's the sheets of metal on the tail that are used for yaw control, then the effect of the pedals will be reversed. If it's differential collective, they won't.

I'm imagining that yaw control by the tail fins would be achieved by pivoting them at the top and swinging them in the opposite direction to which you want to spot-turn.
