There are those pilots who stir the cyclic in tiny circles to hold a hover, (which is usually because they can't hold a hover without moving the cyclic,) and there are those pilots who can hold a hover without moving the cyclic.

If you can find a suitable place on your leg to comfortably rest your right wrist on, then you'll have much less movement in your right hand. Move your hand, move your fingers, the will helicopter move.

Find the sweet spot, relax, and hold everything there.

The easiest way to a smooth hover is to quit moving the flippin' cyclic!
