I thought it was all to do with Tail Rotor Drift.

Due to tail rotor thrust, if left uncorrected, aircraft will drift right in the hover.

Left cyclic is applied to counter.

Aircraft now sits left wheel/skid low.

Counter this by placing driver in RHS.

QHIs/Beefers - please jump in with your coloured pens if this is incorrect!
