If the main rotor blades are stalled ... NO lift and so I infer no torque reaction to the body (edit: though certainly some precession due to mass and inertia) ...

Forgive a possibly naive question from a fixed-wing pilot, but are you sure that a "stalled" (but still turning under power) blade would produce "NO lift" and (consequently) "no torque reaction"?

henra?
