Sorry. Prior to writeing my previous post asking for explainations on phase lag etc. The 5 previous posts by Rotorque,Tiltrotor, Lu,yourself and Rotor Nut respectively had not appeared on my screen. My request seems to be adequately covered now. Feel free to add to it if you see fit.
All others.
Lu has kept a respectable demeanour despite some open and personal criticism. We may not all agree with every thing he says, but quite obviously he has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience over the years.He has openly discussed his veiws and ideas on this forum, which is what it's all about.I think he deserves some respect for that.

Thanks for your post. if you return to mine, and read it carefully, you will notice that I never mentionned right cyclic input- rather left, which is what it is because of ETL. As you say, the T/R is affected by ETL thus, it also becomes more eficcient. Now if you want to maintain a constant power setting and heading, yes, you will have to collectively change your cyclic and pedals.
However, talking solely about cyclic inputs, in a helicopter with a counterclockwise rotating M/R, the cyclic will go to the left forward because, along with the ETL transition comes a slight pitch-up of the nose, plus because of the more efficient airlfow over the T/R, drift will be increased.
I hope that this clarified my opinion.
Safe flying.
