Thanks! I'll have to try it trim off and see how that feels. I was more thinking when I'm pulling up into a hover, in the last bit of your approach to a hover, or at the end of a quick stop there should be a lot more left pedal required. When I'm in forward flight or more or less steady power the trim/pedal response feels about right but I should be having to work the pedals more as I'm going into those high power settings. This is mostly based on flying the MH-60 but there shouldn't be much difference between the UH and MH in this regard.
I haven't run into the heading hold issue yet but I'll mess around with it a bit more.
