Question On Rotorheads I was told not to discuss gyroscopic precession

I don’t know what the rotational velocity of the fan is but because of it’s mass it must have some gyroscopic tendencies. What happens if the aircraft banks left? Does the nose tuck down or conversely if it banks right does the nose move upward?
