chop jock. If you are driving a car in reverse and told to turn left, which way do you turn?
The car's left.
As the reported comment was "appeared" to have rotated counterclockwise before it crashed", we'll have to know where the person that made the comment was looking from before rubbishing it won't we.
If I saw a helicopter rotate counterclockwise, it would still be counterclockwise from which ever angle my point of view was. (I can work that out by looking at the nose).
When you're flying your remote helicopters around, looking from below, when you yaw to the left it will appear to rotate anti clockwise
No. it will be yawing nose left. (which if anything viewed from below is
clockwise) but actually I would describe it as rotating anticlockwise.
So, if I was stood next to you and asked you to turn your model anti clockwise, which way would you turn it?
Left. We are talking about the nose of the fuselage.
As with almost every vehicle, left is nose left. And if it rotates, left is anticlockwise,(just like the steering wheel of a car) which is how any intelligent person would see it.
