My Bell 47 has a constant bank to the left.........

Featured Replies

Has anyone run into this and how did you trim the aircraft to a more level flight envelope. The designers commented on the fact that there is a "knob" in the center that would do this, trimming the aircraft for one persons weight. There is the round red "dial" that does nothing and a knob that does work, a "rotor trim". There is nothing in the manual that addresses this, either use or how to use it. When in "0" setting the aircraft has a steady bank to the left. When moved further, from 0 up, the bank becomes more pronounced! Would really like to work with this aircraft but having to maintain a minimum of 10 to 15 degrees of right stick make the bird more work than enjoyment and taxing to say the least for smooth landings. Please, any info or help with this will be appreciated!!

For anyone else who reads this topic i wanted to mention that the Bell47 has a pilot on the left instead of the traditional right side. And The rotor trim which is the black lever not the red knob is only going to correct for no passengers on the left side. So back in 2014 we made the Bell47 load up with all passengers so the helo is balanced. Hope this info helps anyone who comes across this thread.
