Thank you Matthew, very clear. Sounds manageable. No two helicopter types have the same TR response anyway (e.g., transition from EH28 to RH22 or RH44).

A good exercise to program the "TR pedal travel vs effectiveness curve" for a given a/c type into your muscle memory is to circle around a centre point, with the nose pointing to that centre point at all times. Start CCW direction (in case of CCW spinning MR), then increase speed, then with stronger wind. Then the same the other way round, which obviously requires even more, and quicker pedal movements.

One of the problem with PPL training is IMHO that people are not brought into challenging situations and they therefore do not know how their helicopter behaves at the limits.
