Thanks Graviman.

I don't understand this however. In both the Hiller Rotorcycle and the Gen-4 one can clearly see that by tilting the rotor disc forward, the heli moves forward. This seems to indicate no GP. It would be almost impossible to fly such a thing if you had to re-program your brain to give left cyclic to move forward.

What am I missing?
