Newton's third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So, if you have this large main rotor producing torque in one direction, you will have an equal yawing moment in the opposite direction of the main rotor. It is the job of the tail rotor to counter the torque produced by the main rotor. (Provided timely and accurate pilot inputs.
)During the application of additional power, more torque is introduced into the main rotor requiring a corresponding increase in the appropriate anti-torque pedal. Conversely, when power is reduced the torque in the main rotor is also reduced, requiring an appopriate input in the other anti-torque pedal.
So, when viewing a helo. from above, if the main rotor spins counter-clockwise, the fuselage will want to yaw or rotate to the right, requiring left anti-torque pedal. And when power is reduced right anti-torque pedal is required.
Blah blah blah. I never knew that riding my Big Wheel when I was little would lead to BS like that. I hope none of you all read all of that crap.
I want my 20 sec. back I remember a very little bit about flight school and torque. Kind of like Big Wheels.

It's like that experiment where you take a bicycle wheel and a bar stool. You sit on the stool, grab the wheel on its axis so it's pointing vertically, and have someone spin the wheel. As you rotate the wheel at an angle about the axis, you're automatically spin around on the bar stool. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I will probably go if I'm not already out of town by then.
