@Silvara007 at most of helicopters pilot must raise up collective when he is tilting so he loss no altitude

[Silvara007]

@jamesrichardson63 They just tilt forward and hence the main rotor provides both lift and forward thrust.

Thanks for your comment - glad you liked it. And thanks for the explanantion as to the cause of the wobble. Thought it must be something like that. Must cause a lot of stress on the wheel assembly.
