Rotation about the CG

Thanks again Checkboard, but I don't quite understand the pencil trick. With the pecil flat on the desk and two fingers astride you can spin the pencil from the point where the fingers are, true. but this is constraining the system. In the "rudder" case you have a single linear input into a freely suspended system. Are we still on track?
