Default RE: Successful flights

On my Kellet,blades rotate counterclockwise.Left turns are very nice but right turns are done very carefully since the nose drops in a right turn and climbs in a left turn. This is as should be expected since the blades are acting like a gyro. Read the theory of gyroscopes and you will find out why this happens. You are have the opposite effect so I can't imagine what your problem is. You say your blades are rotating clockwise does this mean that you are standing in back of the machine and the blades are turning to the right? I have flown my Kellet with the blades turning both directions and the same effect is noted. Right turns are nose down for counterclockwise and left turns are nose down for clockwise.
