I still picture the piece of string from the end of the collective to the tip of my left boot.

Handy for the gazelle, but everything after that was opposite!

So now I just 'tie' that bit of string to my right boot!

I remember hearing that the Sud-Est designers wanted to make their Alouette easier for fixed wing pilots to fly so they designed it to require right pedal on takeoff, as a fixed wing does.
Don't fixed wing ac have different rotations also?
