Gidday, I'd imagine the yaw would be controlled by rotor torque
differentiation
or simple adjustable rudder type wings in the outer rotor disc wash.
Move to the country and relax.
I can't see car sized mosquitos buzzing around for a long long time .
especially
with modern attitudes like yours.

What? You haven't seen all my posts at alt.scooter.geriactric? That's my
favourite newsgroup!

But on the serious side, I'm already feeling geriatric. I can finally afford
my HCPL due to an unexpected inheritance, but am seriously facing the
problem of being too old now to make any use of one - and I'm only 38 FCOL!

Why does everyone consider 40 to be OLD, I don't FEEL old. But I have had to
weigh into the equation a serious dose of the world's attitude toward 40
year olds when deciding whether to do my licence, cause that'll be the
attitudes of the people I'd be approaching for work.
I'd have enough money to do the licence, the night rating, the turbine
rating, and maybe even the instrument rating. But would still have only half
the hours I'd need to do anything useful with the licence. Without finding
work to increase those hours at someone else's expense, I'd never get those
hours up myself. But even with all the extra ratings, I'd expect a lot of
trouble finding flying work with the big FOUR O over the head.
