Default RE: Autorotation?

Hi Guys,
Been out of the loop for a couple of days. As I said earlier, I bow to your knowledge and experience. Seems we are all saying the same thing about the physics, just coming from different angles. whether you say Yaw Control, or Torque Compensation, you are still talking about the same forces acting upon the same object (in mho). I'm tyring to wrap my brain around your view and I think I get it.
If I was gonna continue to argue my position, I would ask if you thought alierons (sp?) on a fixed wing were just there to counteract propeller torque. BUT, if you think about it for a minute, in a way, you could..... (An open mind is not always a good thing,,, every time I open mine, things start falling out...)

It has been a great brain exercize. I enjoyed it and picked up some new ideas and ways of looking at things. If I have offended or riled anybody, I, most humblly, appologize.

Good wishes to all.
