Default RE: gyro handling in sharp turns

It is because of the gyroscopic forces that the spinning rotor imparts to the machine When you tilt the rotor to make a left turn the nose will come up and you will have to apply little or no elevator. Right turn will put the nose down and you will need elevator to keep a level attitude . This is for a rotor turning ccw looking from the rear.
