The rigged neutral position of the cyclic is midway between the fore and aft stops and 8.3 inches to the right of full left cyclic. This measurement is taken at the pivot point of the cyclic control horn. If that’s where you started from then I have to accept that my theory doesn’t hold water. However the test data contained in the NTSB report PB96-917003 indicates that the stick position when flying forward ranged from 68.8% right stick at 30 Knots CAS to 67.7 % at 111 Knots CAS. There were slight variations in stick position with increasing airspeed but in all cases the stick was to the right of neutral.
