Default New Rotor Blades

Hello Phil

Every single one of my gyros has clockwise rotation, my own designs as well as my Simple G and Huff & Puff pusher.

I don't have the honour of owning one of those lovely Kellets so I can only comment from my own experiences with my gyros.
I have noticed that on some of my models a slight trim is required to the advancing side due to the flapped up front portion of the disc imparting a reaction 90 offset, rolling the model to the advancing side ( this was kindly explained to me by a knowledgeable gyronut ). The thing is, by trimming this out to fly straight the rotor shaft is slightly inclined to one side effectively putting the mass of the model to one side of the rotor it is hanging off. Wouldnt this perhaps give you this slight tilt ??

Thats the best explanation I can come up with, I will leave it to the experts now :spinnyeye

I will watch this post with interest
