Method and apparatus for controlling precession in a drilling assembly

Drilling apparatuses and methods for limiting precession are provided. According to one embodiment, a drilling apparatus includes a non-rotating stabilizer. The non-rotating stabilizer includes a first blade and a second blade, the first blade being arranged opposite the second blade. The first blade is biased radially outwardly by a force of a first value. The second blade is not biased radially outwardly by a force corresponding to the first value. The second blade may be a blade which is slidable along the non-rotating stabilizer in an axial direction and allow free sliding axial contact with the formation.
