The tail rotor is only counteracting the torque effect. If you retard the PCLs in time, ie before the rotation fully develops then you should maintain some form of straight and level autorotational profile. As the blades are not driven by the engines rather they are driven aerodynamically (Factors A B C) there is very little torque effect.

On the hawk the cambered fin unloads the tail rotor in forward flight that also helps you out The art however, is the flare at the bottom.
