While doing some piros today I noticed that which ever way I yaw the Heli it tends to roll to the port (left tail in, right nose in). Is this normal? Do I need to use right alieron everytime I yaw the heli one way or the other? It also pitches forward during the piro. All this seems to be the same using a sim. Just looking for some confirmation of what I'm seeing.

its normal due to the natural lean to the heli in a hover and your changing torque on the system

less torque left stick
more right stick

so to do a stationary slow piro some cyclic is needed that faster you piro the more cetrifugal force will aid it stabolizing just know once its in a fast piro the smallest elev/aile input will be amplified

For some reason I knew you would be one of the first to respond to this. Thanks, Sokal.
