AB412 cyclic slightly ticking L/R in turn
All,
We feel some cyclic movement, like slightly ticking left and right (max 3 per second and sometimes hardly noticeable) and only in turns.
In some cases an aircraft ticks more than average and it wonders me that it stops when switching off helipilot#1.
We fly 3 ships AB412 SP (3 axis).
Is there more experience with this ticking? Maybe somebody nows why it stops when switching off helipilot#1. To me it feels pretty normal but in some cases it is more severe.
Just wandering. Many thanks!

Natuurlijk heb je je lokale Bell technische vertegenwoordiger gecontacteerd?
IMHO als je een vlucht controle probleem dat je niet kunt corrigeren zou ik praten met iemand die kan vóór de volgende vlucht!
Amazing how people come here for technical answers to problems that should be dealt with in a more correct manner.

Ticking in turns.
The turn signal system has been automatically activated. A little known Bell safety innovation. As you stop the turn the ticking will stop!
Devised by Bell specifically for older pilots living in Florida!
Seriously, however, I have no clue as to the cause.

Albatross....there is a Caution note in the book about being careful to cancel the Signal periodically to prevent the complete loss of signal fluid.
I've a dim recollection that concurs with heloguy412's comment, #1 Tarsyn or #2 inverter. I've certainly had similar symptoms in a machine many, many years ago and the OP describes it well. Albeit in a manner that has obviously brought out the humour in a few posts

Thnx!
Problem dissapeared, checked everything (including swash plate supp bearings), Tarsyns etc.
No2 inverter was new for me.
Many thanks for all the input, just wandering if there was same experience (maybe in the past).

#2 Inverter was mentioned because it powers the #1 Autopilot and sometimes power coming out from either the 115 or 26.5 VAC side at the wrong HZ can cause autopilot problems.
