I agree with most of what you said however,your comment about rolling to the left in fwd flight, due to extra lift gained by the advancing blade lacks merit.

Gyroscopic precession insists that the lift gained by the advancing blade is employed by lifting the front of the disc. Hence if you where to push the stick fwd and hold it still,the nose would pitch up as you accelerated. Try it. To maintain level flight you must increase fwd pressure.

You actually do this without noticing it.
