Default RE: Head/engine driven tail rotor

You're correct, stock the R30 has the red tail gear which makes the tail non-driven in an auto.

It's no big deal, you just need a little forward speed and it will weathervane into the wind. Some folks do it, some folks mod the 50 to be non driven to get extra hang time. Personally if I had a 30 I would leave the tail drive stock.
