Sorry, matey, but the roll rates actually don't have anything to do with cyclic position.
BUT, the first thred from crab was entirely related to the cyclic position and roll rate!
if the cyclic is allready off centre duing flight then more cyclic is neaded to make a roll in the same direction. then centering the cyclic would stop the roll.
centering the cyclic duing forward flight would cause a roll to the oposite side. to stop the roll, an awfull lot of cyclic is going to be needed.

in flight or hover, whats the difference with tailrotor roll?, its always going to be there when power is applied. sure less peddal is required but the anti torque is still in the same place.
