You're welcome, and that sim will be just fine for orientation, which is the main thing anyways.

It sounds like it. When you rudder right the tail motor should spin up, rudder all the way left and the motor should stop. When you are on the ground if you rudder right, you might find yourself drifting to the left. This is called ground effect or GE, and once you get the diameter of your blades off of the ground it wont be a problem.

You might want to double check the polarity of your tail motor though, because when you rudder right, it should turn the nose to the right, and the tail should go left. From what you were saying, it sounds opposite.
