Default RE: Unlevel Hovering

ORIGINAL: 183AMMO

Hi All,

I have a Blade SR. it seems to fly pretty good other than when I get it to a steady hover it is tilted to the right as looking at it from behind. Is there an adjustment in the heli that I can change to make it hover level?

Thanks
This is totally normal.. every helicopter does it.. even the real ones..

In an AS350 you land right skid first and in a Bell 206 Jet Ranger you land left skid first (as the main rotors rotate in different directions on these two helis and the tail rotor is on opposite sides)

Its is just physics balancing the side thrust of the Tail Rotor as Rafael correctly said.
