Unlike V-22 and XV-15, the 609 has never had a rudder. Like mentioned earlier, yaw control in AP mode is exclusively accomplished with differential collective power.

Regarding the wing, the 609 currently has a bit of dihedral, as the crossshaft coupling can accommodate a few degrees of misalignment.
