Grey Area you made a comment about lateral displacement of the cyclic to compensate for lateral CG which according to you would account for most if not all of the cyclic displacement referenced in the graph included in the NTSB Report. I found the graph very misleading as it did not reference how the lateral deflection in percentage of movement was measured and relative to what. Was it in reference to the neutral point of travel of the cyclic or, was it in reference to the rigged neutral position.
I will be sending a letter to one of the senior investigators at the NTSB to try and get some clarification in this matter. When and if I get a response I will publish the findings on these threads.
