Helicopter Hovering lesson

Had a lesson this morning.
Did some take off and landings.
Relax relax relax.
Eyes out
Adjust throttle RPM top of green.
Gently raise collective, coordinate with throttle to keep RPM top of green.
Looking for light on the skids.
Some left pedal to counteract the helicopters natural inclination to yaw right.   That's turn right for you non nautical types
Light on the skids, find the neutral point for the cyclic.
Continue to raise collective and as we lift away from the ground some aft cyclic to keep position.
Sounds easy.
