It's interesting. The cyclic setup never bothered me, but I did have one event that made me think a bit about whether it was appropriate. One of my best students ever was a digger driver who had absolutely no problem separating hands and feet, which as we all know is a core skill for drummers, organists and helicopter drivers as well. We were in the circuit in a 22 with about five hours total on the clock and he was doing stunningly well. A gust caught us and we rolled to the left. He completely caught me by surprise by pulling the cyclic towards his knees rather than to the right laterally, and as a result he exacerbated the left roll. I wondered at the time whether such actions might have explained some mast bumping experiences in Robinsons.
