Thumbs up Another stupid idea from the archives of my brain.

Put a tail rotor on it. Sounds stupid but it has been done. In the construction of a modular building they used heavy lift helicopters. In order to stabilize the modular loads and keep them from rotating they had an electrical or engine powered tail rotor. It worked quite well.
