UniCopter ~ Control - Flight - Empennage

Overview:

Note

Autorotation:

This will require consideration; Particularly the entry into autorotation.

Could the fuselage's large flat area behind the rotors and over the engine, plus the horizontal stabilizer, plus the loss of the Y-axis component of rotor torque cause a sudden and large nose down pitching upon the loss of power?

Give the horizontal stabilizer a variable pitch?
