Perhaps the best examples of a "cyclic delay" were expressed very often by old time US Army H-1 drivers after their first flight in a Blackhawk.
Most said: "When you point the cyclic in the H60, you're there NOW whereas in the H1; She'll eventually get there".
In helos with more than two blades, Tech Reps call cyclic delays: hysteresis. Such "Cyclic delays" (as in the H53) can usually be eliminated by changing out marginal control rod bearings from top to bottom.
