I met nobody ever who could manage the cyclic alone in a 22 on their first try, and I had the privilege to fly with some really competent people who picked everything up really quickly. That means you’re always going to be having a wild ride, and let’s face it there is no other way to learn, any more than you can teach someone how to ride a bicycle in a you tube video.
Ive actually met a couple of very competent non-pilots who easily managed the cyclic on the first try. Maybe even managing collective and feet pedals all separately too. All together at once? Ive met one person who managed it.
