From memory (RAF Chinook engineer late 90s) a pair of airspeed-scheduled servos (DASH?) pitch the 2 discs forward to counter flap-back as speed increases, so the fuselage remains horizontal. Pilot has no direct control; its not part of the primary flying controls.

Perhaps someone with more recent experience (and more grey cells) can elaborate.
