CTD, the strip is on the left-hand side at the top which, it seems to me, will generate a rolling moment to the left as speed increases. The cambered fin (above tail boom) generates thrust to the left as speed increases (to offload the tail rotor), so this also generates a rolling moment to the left! Could there be something in the rigging of the main rotor that causes a roll to the right which these other moments offset?
