The EC120B appears to have 'Chinese weights' in its tail rotor. When used in a main rotor, they are perpendicular to 'in-plane', and are used to counter the centrifugal flattening moment of the blade. (Tennis Racket Effect).

These weights have been call "Chinese balls". Does this make the EC 120 a BOY helicopter, also.
