Red face

Not to mention the spring loaded swashplate on the 212 for the double hydraulic failure case (forward right quadrant).

As far as I know the pilot always compensates for tail rotor drift with cyclic, hence the skid low hovers, there is no mast imput in the lateral sense.

The advancing blade does flap up, it is 'prevented' from doing so though by further forward cyclic, hence the diference in the tip plane plane and the swash plate plane.
