to arm the floats: I had mentioned earlier either a mast or disk rigging would counter translating tendency- to clarify, if the cyclic, while in a centered position, places the rotor disk in a slight left position, the
disk has been "rigged".
To Lu, you mentioned that while the swashplate is flat the cyclic is slightly right of center- so if you were to move it the cyclic to the center then you have a disk that moves slightly left, right?
It was my opinion (and I may have come to this conclusion on my own) that the right trim knob in the r22 compensated for this "rigging" but now that I've thought about it I'd like to pose Lu's earlier question once more: what's the knob for? Does someone have
a definitive answer? (Frank, if your list isn't too long already)
