Bell 230 drifts left?

Postby Anxyous » Fri Jun 20, 2008 5:46 am

I know there's a lot of threads about torque and stuff, but this seems pretty unique.

I've got torque and all that turned all the way down, but the Bell 230 (and no other helis) drifts left.

I have to bank right at 10 degrees or something to stay on a heading.

My joystick is properly calibrated.

do you have some form of 'rudder' control to apply to  the anti-torque rotor (tail rotor)? Either a twist grip or better yet pedals. It's almost impossible to fly a helicopter wiyhout it.

Yes, I've got rudder control, but this problem applies to the 230 alone.

The default isn't a 230...?

My bad then, the default Jetranger.
