.... Yaw <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_%28flight%29> is controlled

Maik, you may already have read this and I am not very familiar with
the  tiltrotor technology. But *if* they are right then there should at
least be an additional tilting-effect  to  the  different cyclic
pitching you are using, as I understand. This could be the reason for
more responsability - left nacelle little forward tilt, right nacelle
little backward tilt, yaw the a/c to the right.

But whether this is correct or not - it is wikipedia, so we don't know
exactly :-/
But as the wikipedia author goes on writing " Pitch
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28flight%29> is provided through
rotor cyclic or nacelle tilt."  I think he is pretty well informed about
cyclic and common rotor technology.

Georg
