Default RE: AXE CP tail rotor question?

Myth it might be better if you viewed the tail rotor less like a rudder and more like an anti-torque device. Since it's a fixed pitch prop it can only yaw the heli to the right. To yaw left the heli uses the torque of the main rotor so the tail rotor reduces speed and/or stops on left turns.
