Default Blade CX SH-60 body

the tail rotor on the blade cx SH-60 Seahawk body should be a working part of the body?

Since the cx has no tail motor or tail rotor driving device, it would be a little scary if all of a sudden the faux rotor started to actually provide input. it may be a message to start a new hobby??? :-)

well it would make most beginner pilots cross-over from coaxial fixed pitched helicopters to where people can move up to collective pitch and wont have to be another helicopter.

If the tail rotor spinned on the body, it would be for appearance only. The blade would have no pitch. Remember that it is the counter rotation of the upper and lower blades that keep the CX from spinning out of control. As you want to turn right, one of the blades slows down and the other spins faster. You can test that with full rudder right as you very slightly put some power to the motor. Only one blade will spin. The mechanics of the blade pitch is much more complex on collective pitch helicopters. You would need another helicopter to experience that.

That tail rotor doesn't provide any input, power or control either?
