Unfortunately that T bar cyclic arrangement isn't as stable as a proper cyclic.

BUT, being able to rest your hand on your leg so you only use small, dextrous finger and wrist muscles instead of big shoulder muscles makes a huge difference.

Understand that you are looking for VERY SMALL changes in the attitude - if you can see that a picture on the wall is wonky, you can see the changes in the attitude starting to happen - that is the learning process for hovering, anticipating the aircraft movement as soon as the attitude changes even a tiny bit.

One of the more difficult things is to recognise the difference between a small lateral movement and a small yawing movement - the picture out the front initially looks the same as the world is moving laterally in the windscreen. That does come with practice.
