Hello,

just got started flying heli's and i waned to know if there's supposed to be a slight tilt on swash plates. I noticed that the swash plate on my Kyoho M24 is slightly tilted to the left (when viewing head on). I suspect this might be the reason why the heli steers to the left and forward. Should the swash plate be horizontal? Or is this a common occurance for heli's in general?

Also, if i do need to adjust the swash plate, how would i go about doing it? The manual reference only a picture without any explanation. Any links/suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks for your input

The tail rotor blows the heli sideways in addition to couter acting the torque. Its called translating tendency and its normal for a properly trimmed swash to be tilted to the right (when referenced properly)
