More control required. Which offers more control in terms of power margin and control movement limit? Next time you hover - into wind, try turning in both and note the power required and the range of control movement in both directions. The preferential direction of turn varies with type.

There must be an echo in here. Ah, if only A.Agincourt could read what I wrote...
