Dear Joe,

Your illustration of input on the wheel shaft and the resultant movement of the wheel is the same as moving a cyclic stick in a leftward direction. The input is 90 degrees ahead of the result. If you wanted to move a Bell to the left the swash plate would tip to the left. At that time the blade over the nose is at the lowest pitch angle and the blade over the tail is at the highest pitch angle. The end result is that the disc tilts to the left and you end up flying left. I don't want to go into the pitch input and the resultant movement on the Robinson as it becomes too complicated. It's in the diagram. You may end up with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome trying to counter my inputs. Just ask for the report and diagram and then we can go from there as we will be playing on a level field.
