WRONG Descend and climbing on hover mode?

Recommended Posts

When Hind is hovering, I push right pedal, and it climbing, but  it provides increasing angles on tail rotor blades, that must to reduce main rotor`s power. When I push left pedal it descend, but tail rotor need less power, and Main rotor dont spend unwanted power, so Hind  must climb....but it descend... is  it correct????

The power demand is compensated by the governor which keeps the RPM constant - however the RPM is measured relative to the fuselage, that means the helicopter's rotation is added to the rotor RPM relative to the surrounding air.

Since the rotor is rotating clockwise turning right will increase RPM of the rotor relative to the air slightly and thus increasing the lift.
