One other thing, does this slight angle of bank while hovering require a small cyclic input or is it ‘built in’ with a centered cyclic maintaining the bank ?
It also depends on your CG - a chubby pilot or a Trump-esque pax will require some cyclic adjustment to stay in one spot. But helicopter pilots, being the sky gods that we are, automatically make adjustments without needing to activate too many brain cells. Which is lucky, in some cases.
