assuming all things remain equal, a left yaw due to large pedal input will cause the obvious yaw, this will put the relative wind off the right side of the aircraft as the nose swings left. The right crosswind will cause the rotor to blow back to the left rear. This will cause that left roll, and then as the aircraft rolls, it will begin to descend. This vertical airflow across the tail will cause a pitch down due to the building descent and upward airflow. Right pedal will be the same except that all the roll/ yaw goes right. There is more to say but I'll leave it out for now and see where this goes.
