CFEOSKEY - if it truely was an open question, not a rhetorical question, then I apologise. It was the addition of the second sentence that caused my interpretation that you were really saying "so what was the problem, surely its easy enough to autorotate with no tail rotor especially when the torque was near zero". This is the problem with the written word, it can be interpreted in different ways. Only you will know what the thinking behind your question really was...
In the mean time, I have deleted the first sentence & last para.
