Most of the force is generated by the twin-rotor discs.

Helos with 1 disc need a tail rotor to keep them from spinning right? Instead, Ka-50 uses a counter-rotating secondary rotor disc. They cancel each other out normally (almost, hence the need to trim rudder) but that force can be varied to spin the thing around.

Well, yeah, I get that. I just thought it would have had more impact to the
controls than that.

I shall continue my experiments.
