Tilt of the Astar rotor.

Hi folks:

I am new to this forum and would like some tech.Info. from an experienced Astar pilot/engineer/aerodynamicist.
I have yet to figure out how the 2 degree forward tilt to the Astar main rotor shaft provides a 'level cabin in cruise flight'.I have tried applying all the priciples of precession I know but I can't figure it out.Any help anybody?
Thanks,
Alt.3
