L'incidence des pales varies pendant la rotation, c'est-à-dire que sur un tour du rotor, l'incidence d'une pale va augmenter alors que l'incidence de la pale opposé diminue. Sur le quart de tour suivant les deux pales reprennent leur incidence équivalente, un quart de tour de plus et de nouveau les incidences se différencient et ainsi de suite : c'est le pas cyclique. Le pas cyclique est piloté par la radiocommande, cela correspond à deux voies : une pour le tangage (avant - arrière), une pour le roulis (droite - gauche). 2, record 2, French, - pas%20cyclique
