Dennis,

As many folks fly both left and right turning rotor systems interchangeably....I leave out the "stick left/right wording" and suggest using "cyclic as needed to achieve the desired pitch/roll attitude". That way one is reacting to the situation instinctively rather than having to start by deciding which aircraft they are sitting in at the time....then applying the correct technique. The goal being to reduce confusion or delay when one finds helicopter flying does in fact demand prompt response to quickly changing conditions of flight.
