SilsoeSid, no offence taken. But have you seen the speed I hover taxi at? Even if it's a small bank, it's a bank.
More seriously, at my experience level, I don't turn many corners while hover taxiing - stop, pedal turn to new direction and carry on, maybe.
AND ONE MORE THING (this added 8pm local, 2nd July 04) - I've just had a look through Bailey Vol 1 and it doesn't actually mention this specific topic! Hover-taxiing isn't covered in the air exercises, and the helicopter handling section only mentions hover-taxiing in a straight line, and spot turns - nothing about 'when cornering at 10mph use pedals only and maintain level with cyclic' or (as I would think) 'use very gentle bank angles and maintain direction with pedals'.
