I am also suspicious of having 3 hinge points on a 2 blade rotor .... if a split second disturbance caused one blade to pivot on a coning hinge it would immediately put everything out of phase and would self-destruct.
That one sentence is more than enough to convince me I made the right promise to my wife many years ago not to get in one again.
