That sounds wrong to me. The *rotor* should be tilted, but the airframe is experiencing no net force and should be "hanging" straight down from the shaft. I might believe, because the side force from the tail acts a little lower than the opposing force from the rotor, that the airframe would experience a small torque away from exactly vertical. But I'd be surprised if this was a large effect -- certainly real helicopters don't appear to be leaning while hovering. :) Maybe I've misunderstood?
