Ahh. I think I understand you.

If I do, and you can properly hover in all axis as you say. Then it is just a combination of all the movements. You have to imagine yourself in the cockpit!

Imagine the heli hovering side on, nose to the right.

Push forward cyclic and it will move right. Now add left 'rudder'. (we'll do this in four points) When it is pointing away from you, you need to add right cyclic. Hold the left 'rudder' input and you will end up nose pointing to the left. now you need aft cyclic to continue going right. Hold the left 'rudder' and you will be pointing towards you. You now need left cyclic. (nearly there). Hold the left 'rudder' and you will be back where you started.

i.e. the cyclic stick moves in a circle as the heli rotates. Try it at each quarter and then try it whilst turning.

I hope I have understood you this time.

Oh. Just to let you know, where I come from this is called a 'carousel'.
