Hello Maik, Does that position-deg == 0 inverted, specific to HUP and H-21 or a generic problem to any helicopter which blade Zero is drawn pointing forward ? The S-51 could have the same error, and looking at the nice new CH47 it seems to want the 180 offset. I did not checked the others choppers.
