Capt. 206

Thanks for your post. if you return to mine, and read it carefully, you will notice that I never mentionned right cyclic input- rather left, which is what it is because of ETL. As you say, the T/R is affected by ETL thus, it also becomes more eficcient. Now if you want to maintain a constant power setting and heading, yes, you will have to collectively change your cyclic and pedals.
However, talking solely about cyclic inputs, in a helicopter with a counterclockwise rotating M/R, the cyclic will go to the left forward because, along with the ETL transition comes a slight pitch-up of the nose, plus because of the more efficient airlfow over the T/R, drift will be increased.

I hope that this clarified my opinion.

Safe flying.
