Ref cyclic first or lever first. Bearing in mind that there are occasions when aft cyclic first is perfectly acceptable and others when it definitely isn't, such as in the climb, on the approach or at any time when the speed is low, it has always seemed to me that the best teaching is to lower the lever (damn quick) and INITIALY maintain the pitch attitude with the cyclic.When you have decided what you want to do next, like increase speed to increase range or reduce speed to lose it, THEN change the attitude appropriately.To try to teach different initial reactions when the priority really is to get the lever down is not likely to succeed. History seems to indicate (particularly in low inertia types such as the R22) that people who lower the lever, whatever else they do, generally live, but people who don't, die.I agree that in the special case of engine failure in a single at high speed and just above the avoid curve, both together seems to work.
