I believe gyrocopter rotors turn counter clockwise viewed from above. Will the machine fly any differently if fitted with a clockwise turning rotor? Anything like the right rudder versus left rudder torque correction for power planes with opposite rotation English engines, etc.

I can not see any difference except for right handed pilots with an Armstrong Prerotor.
