Controlling rotor blades (123-126) of a rotor assembly (121) includes determining an azimuthal position of a rotor assembly (121) and identifying a lateral control command value, a longitudinal control command value and a collective control command value of a rotor assembly control system. A sine value (SIN) and a cosine value (COS) of the azimuthal position are calculated and separate blade commands signals (1-4) are generated for each separate blade of the rotor assembly to control a position of each blade (123-126) independent of each other blade. The blade command signals (1-4) are generated based on combining the sine and cosine values of the azimuthal position with the lateral control command value, the longitudinal control command value and the collective control command value.
