If I may, the easiest way to build a helicopter is by stacking 2 rotors, with opposing rotations. This way the gyroscopic effect removes the need for a tail, side oriented rotor to stabilize the contraption. You don't have to stack them, you could have one at the front and one at the back, but it's easier to build a stable machine that way.
Of course, you can also do it with a single lift rotor, a tail rotor, and logic blocks. Basically, you need to tell the tail rotor that it must activate in the proper way at, say 50% power, to counter the natural rotation at all time. So basically, detect direction change and counter it. But you also need to bypass this when manually inputing rotation commands, which means 50 to 100% to go against the natural rotation, and 50 to 0% when following it.
It's much, much simpler to do with 2 stacked opposing rotors, really.
If you care, here is a link to one of my builds : tiniest helicopter I could build, except that for extra stability it doesn't use regular rotors. Instead, it has those "lift reactors" that are mounted on a gyroscope so they always point down, mounted on rotors. I've built is especially to go down the volcano and I couldn't topple it even when hugging the walls too much. I'm sure you could do it if you try enough, but accidentally is unlikely. It's a very simple build, but it can be used as a proof of concept if you want to try something much bigger :)

what about me? ya'll care about "big" content creators but i've been doing it for years
