I think you will find there is no "motor" on the cyclic on the 350. When you do hyd out training there is a very simple set of rules as to the order in which you disable the system....this is in order to use the reservoir available which will give you around 6 -10 control inputs before it runs out and then when you have slowed the aircraft to say 80 kn you turn off the hyd all together . This is to avoid having partial hyd support to one or other servo. When you turn the main hyd back on you first need to have replenished the reservoir by re pressing the hyd test button. I think sasless has his own issues with 350 ,s and find his " is there a problem with the system ?" somewhat insincere !! Certainly girls have crashed these machines in the past due to very heavy controls without hyd and even for a man they are heavy especially in the hovver. ( i know ...not recommended )
