Dave,

Are there any cross-coupled forces when using weight shift control of a rotor? I'd imagine you would subconsciously learn to put the input in 90' ahead of required disk pitch / roll requirement, until flapback reaction reached equality.

Arguably all helicopters are weightshift control, since they revector the lift thrust to achieve the desired flight (albeit less so with high hing offset rotors).
