back to basics here I think as per R22

viewed from above in autorotation with zero tail rotor pitch

*nose yaws left, tail moves right (transmission drag)

apply right pedal to stop yaw (negative pitch)

*nose yaws right, tail moves left, tail rotor thrust from right to left

thats it, I think it is a reasonable question

regards

CF

Note 1: by tail rotor thrust the question master means, Which way will the tail rotor move when pedals are moved from zero pitch viewed from above, NOT which way the tail rotor physically moves the air passing through it !

Note 2: in powered flight tail rotor thrust from left to right
