My understanding of the tail rotor is to counteract the torque of the main rotor and to rotate the helo around its Z axis in either a CW or CCW direction depending on the lift supplied by the tail rotor. Loss of a tail rotor more than likely will result in loss of the helo unless the pilot

I've fixed the YASim code so that you can set the starting RPM from the property tree -- that means that it is now possible to start YASim propeller planes with the engine running, just like we do with JSBSim planes. This is a minor convenience on the ground, but it is very significant for in-air
