BO-105 has a control box (Cyclic range of movement) that is rectangular in shape. The rectangle runs longitudinally and is offset to the right, so there is less cyclic movement to the left than right.
This equates to: low speed steepish turn to the right, move cyclic left to roll out and hit the cyclic left stop... There is enough cyclic to reverse the turn, but takes time.. With low altitude.. time equals height and a very spectacular PRANG....

Rule # 1 in BO-105.. Low level turns are always to the LEFT...

Cannot recall if BK has the same problem.. (Don't thinks so mind you)
