So its cyclic-collective-pedals just like any other helicopter? How does a pedal input influence the rear rotor, or does it?

Its been twenty years but I did have to work on part of the control systems. Everything, pedals, cyclic and collective was hooked to electric sensors that connected to two SAS boxes, Stability Augmentation Systems, one was for normal use and one was backup. These electronic boxes controlled hydraulic servos that controled the rotors, ect. Yes I do believe both rotors were controlled. that was how you could turn. Obviously with a one rotor chopper the tail rotor lets you turn. As I said its been 20 years and I have not worked on any aircraft after leaving the army in 84.
