No one else is probably reading this thread, so we can work the subject to death.

Thanks for the education on the cone effect caused by precession in gyroscopic precession. I guess that this true gyroscopic precession will be quite minimal in a helicopter since the rotor will have oriented itself to the commanded position within half a revolution.

The term 'aerodynamic precession' may be an valid one, if the basic definition of the word 'precession' is used and not the mechanical connotation. I.e. the control input precedes the aerodynamic output.

Real nit-picking. Chow for now.
