So, I was out with my B400 today, and was actually doing quite well. Nice stationary piros, forward and backward flight, loops, rolls, stall turns, etc. Well, I exit a stall turn pretty fast, and go to do a steeply banked left turn. I end up rolling just a bit too far over, and try to correct with right cyclic. Well, the heli doesn't respond at all, and I end up putting her in flat on her side. Is there some wacky part of heli physics that I don't quite understand here, or what? I've also noticed the tendency to roll to one side when descending in forward flight. After 4 years of flying these things in a simulator (RealFlight G2 and then G3.5) I thought I pretty much knew how to fly these things. Apparently not so much.
Things I've done to her: DS285MG's on the cyclic, a 3400G on the tail, K&B tail blades, flipped main grips and mixers for LE control, and 7.5* of cyclic, and +/-11* of collective, flat 100% throttle curve in idle up.
