No Tail Rotor

By increasing or decreasing the thrust produced by the tail rotor, the pilot can steer the electric rc helicopters to the left or right. Another way to counteract thrust is with two main rotors that turn in opposite, or counter-rotating, directions. Each rotor cancels the torque produced by the other. No tail rotor is needed in this type of gas rc helicopters.
