Helo Attitude

Is there a way to change the hovering pitch of a helo? Some real birds like the Blackhawk and Chinook hover with a tail down attitude which the FS Chinook does but the HC Blackhawk doesn't. Or is this really dependent on the loading in the real thing?
 
It has to do with mast tilt. The amount of forward tilt prettty much determines the attitude of the aircraft in a hover...
 
Don't know for certain, but believe it is determined by the axis of the prop rotor on the model itself.

Its all in the source file. If you look at Paul Bradshaw's Bell 427, you have to add aft cyclic in order to achieve a stable hover.
