To HeliEng:

GP, you will always have GP as soon as you try to move the spinning axis of ANYTHING rotating (ever wondered what kind of forces you put on your cars hubs once you do 55 or 120 or so? Spinning wheels and you constantly try to tilt them by moving forward. how about something faster like a Formula 1 or CART race car......)

GP is kind of hard to UNDERSTAND, we all know the effects, but did you ever grasp the "WHY"? (When I look it up I think I get it, but.......)
There is good explanation in an old "flighttraining"-mag and a different one in an as old ArmedForces flight instruction book.
If you want I can find out details about the publications.....
