What is the smallest "bigger" helicopter you have in mind? Where do you draw the limit between smaller and bigger? Do you account for the difference in rotor system inertia dynamics when you draw that line?
When it comes to the Chinook....it does very much have a Tail Rotor....one that is as big as the forward rotor....but EOL landings were part of the syllabus.
Since you added the "bigger" helicopter discussion.....and the Sea King is what you are considering a "bigger" helicopter as that is what you fly....I can only assume you are providing commentary about your personal experience in the Sea King.
