4Aero,
I'd have thought that a torque turn was a torque turn whether turning left OR right. As long as the MR torque is not in equilibrium with Tailrotor force, torque must make the thing turn...correct?

Imabell,
Anytime I fly ag I try to keep tailrotor inputs to a minimum, so use torque, whether up collective or down to help me around the turn. I do this because one of my old chief pilots warned me about putting any more load than absolutely necessary onto something as fragile and furiously spinning as a tail rotor. I know you are a very wise old instructor and seriously, without any smart-arsedness on my part would like to know what you think.
