My spies tell me that while there is no problem with controlling yaw in autorotation, in the part between powered level flight and autorotation, i.e. a low power descent, yaw control is less than sparkling - some even report difficulty in turning right. Anyone confirm this?
Yes, yaw control is not as good as a conventional helicopter but once you get used to it (some tap dancing), is not a major issue. Difficulties doing right turns? I don't think so, if you maintain some airspeed and aircraft in trim. I am talking about the 600N. I don't know the 520 or 900.
