When we compare rotor system designs....particularly the BO-105/117 series with the rigid rotor system which has been quite successful, against say a fully articulated rotor system.....would the rigid rotor come closer to reacting like a gyroscope than the articulated head?

Is the Rigid Rotor more stable aerodynamically?

My experience in the "Vomit Comet" (un-sas'ed BK) I have to wonder.
