Chaps,

Your physics is completely flawed!

Regardless of where you put the horizontal vector it remains the same.

The action is the drift caused by the horizontal vector from the TR.

The reaction to maintain equilibrium (i.e no drift) is from the main rotor and it reacts around the vertical centre of gravity.

Simple question - tell me where you get the extra energy to make it tilt further around the centre of gravity?

Answers on the back of a postage stamp please.
