As someone else said, try not to "stir the stick". Also, the collective when lowered is very difficult, but still possible, to raise.
Someone mentioned the single hydraulics Huey. This is a very different critter because all the 205 variants had inboard fittings on the head which allowed adjustment of (collective) hydraulics off forces. The 212 has no such inboard fittings so the collective force is set by the straps.
Thanks for the reminder: the conversion was many moons ago and in NZ, where everything works slightly differently
