Namaste VF,

Curious? WIngs level, big altitudes(20 000+), 60 knots to hover, calm air.

Do you ever notice a cyclic pitch input tends to be "perceptibly" accompanied with roll? Finding yourself having to "j hook" or steer a little left/right with cyclic movements to get a straight forward pitch response.

Climbing out from Kathmandu to Chomolungma , any weird surprises with cyclic directional control that increases with altitude. Such as left cyclic inputs becoming the new forward cyclic at extreme altitude?

Apart from increasing mushiness and your subliminal "oneness" with the machine, is it pretty much business as usual , the cyclic goes where your mind...I mean hand points it?

Or does the squirrel seem to get a little more "squirrelly" with altitude?

No question, it takes a big set of nuts to keep it working up there!
