Nothing conscious - at first I'd make a "normal" cyclic correction, then when nothing happened right away I'd add a bit more & then end up overcontrolling. Typical PIO...and to add to the mix, the Hiller 12 had about half the throttle travel of a Bell 47.

The first few minutes were a lot like learning to hover again - I had about 150 hours TT, mostly in Bell 47's & R22's. But once it clicked, it was just like anything else.
