Yet another helicopter phenomena is translating tendency. This is rather simple as it basically is the result of the thrust of the tail rotor causing the helicopter to translate to the right with ccw blades. This force is compounded with also the torque of the fuselage causing the nose to also tend to go to the right.
Often the main mast is rigged to the left slightly to counter most of the cylcic inputs to correct this.
Once again...more detailed explanations are welcome. This is good review for me typing this stuff out as it makes my verbal explanation more consise.
