My ROGUE Helmet head got to try out his limber neck today.
Yes some would say he looks the wrong direction - of the rudder turn - (always something isn't there!?)
Guess I'll need to slave the pilot head to the unused aux 2 channel to correct the inconsistency.

Your pilot's head is actually turning the correct way. As any pilot of a taildragger will tell you, when taxiing you must zig zag to see where you are going and it's necessary to look the opposite way that your rudder turns for visibility. No need to change your pilot head.
