Light Helicopters and Tail Rotor Rolling Couple
Thanks, John!
I'm sure Nick knows more about helicopters than I'll ever learn, and if you're the same bloke I just googled with impressive credentials in the industry, no doubt you do as well.
Re the 205 mast tilt, are you talking about an offset to the left to counteract TR roll, as we've been discussing? I never knew that - just shows you how many little things there can be about a type that you don't necessarily learn at operator level.

Where I come from the Tail Rotor Rolling Couple is illegal in every state except Nevada, and there they make you pay extra for it.

Aotw,
Sorry for not being clearer. Was referring to forward shaft tilt, as your post talked about the 205 being nose- up in a hover.
Thanks,
