The correct answer is to use an anti-torque tail rotor. In a single-rotor helicopter, the main rotor generates torque as it spins, which causes the helicopter to rotate in the opposite direction. To counteract this torque and maintain control, a tail rotor is used. The tail rotor produces thrust in the opposite direction, effectively canceling out the torque and allowing the helicopter to remain stable and controllable. Increasing the collective or pitch would not directly counteract the torque but rather affect the lift or angle of the rotor blades.

Removing rust is not part of corrosion prevention because it is a reactive measure taken after corrosion has already occurred. Corrosion prevention involves proactive measures such as cleaning, painting, inspecting, and early detection to prevent the formation of rust and other forms of corrosion.

Cheesecloth is not suitable for cleaning exterior plastic surfaces because it is a loose and open-weave fabric that is typically used for straining or wrapping food. Due to its loose weave, cheesecloth may not effectively remove dirt or grime from plastic surfaces and may leave behind lint or residue. It is better to use a cloth specifically designed for cleaning, such as a flannel cloth, soft cotton cloth, or diaper type cloth, which are more effective at removing dirt and debris without causing damage to the plastic surface.

When using compressed air for cleaning, it is important to use a diffuser nozzle to prevent the air from being too concentrated and causing damage or injury.
