Always have to have the last word Crab ! Can’t you accept that we don’t all operate in the same way ?
Actually Nigel, we do - FB has now described exactly what I advocated - slow raising of the lever and applying power pedal as you do so - I do that every time I lift to the hover and I suspect that you do too.
My only point was that when jumping from one type to another it can be helpful to prepare mentally so that the wrong motor program doesn't run - if you did inadvertently start to put the wrong pedal then slow application of the lever would give you time to correct that.
If you are in the habit of just grabbing a handful of lever and sorting it out in a wobbly hover then you aren't using the same technique as many of us.
