Moving all three Controls at the same time works too, DB.

Trimming the Aircraft reduces Yaw, Drag, and helps center the Cyclic, as well as point the aircraft nose in the direction it is traveling which would help the Crew see what is actually in front of them and perhaps make the other control movements more efficient and useful .....don't you think?

Why this constant focus upon moving a single control unilaterally.....are some of you unable to mentally figure out how to do that....or only able for some physical reason to move one extremity at a time?

Doesn't the wonderful 225 AFCS/Autopilot do all this when Captain George is put in charge of things?

If the Autopilot can....and does.....why do Humans have such problems with doing it?
