To: Arm the floats
I can't tell you if the mast is tilted or not. Just like you I read it on posts here on PPRuNe and on Just Helicopters. However I can tell you that there is no countering of tail rotor thrust rigged int the control system. When the cyclic is in the rigged neutral position it is in the middle of fore and aft movement and slightly to the right of the longitudinal center line. With the cyclic in this position the swash plate is flat and not biased to the left.
