    @Ac3Zodiac There are 2 simple ways in which you can achieve yaw control without a tail rotor:

    1. you can add a gyro, and use the yaw power slider to use the gyro to yaw the
      aircraft

    2. (My preferred way) you assign yaw as your input for collective
      pitch(alt)
      , (make sure one blade has the input inverted), so that one blade increases collective and the other decreases, this creates a yaw moment.

    Oh, well I tested and that seemed to be the problem

    @Dogedogebread13 But I have two contra rotating main rotors, why cant it fly normally? Having this design makes a tail rotor not needed.

    If you don’t want the tail rotor, just hide it too

    Simple, attach the tail rotor on 1 side, the reason why it needs that is because the main rotor creates a much amount of torque which in turn spin very much the rotor
