...build a really stable Chinook style craft, consider looking into how those are actually built - they adjust their whole rotor assembly plane of rotation...
You are blowing my mind right now.
I get what it means, and that it works (I've only been learning about proper collective and cyclic since, well 1.8.1 really).
But you'd think that all those 'this is how helicopters work'-video's, which specifically mention 'no, no plane change, it actually works using this really intricate mechanical device', could be bothered to mention "cept chinooks, those are WACK!" I think this isn't even properly stated on the Wikipedia page about chinooks.
Which reminds me of this little tip: if you have a high level probe part, facing that probe upward, 'target Anti-radial', in surface mode, the craft will (try to) keep its pitch and roll zero. Very useful if you want to hover.
It's the only way I can manage to land a helicopter on any pad smaller than the lvl3 runway.
