Thumbs up Soft inplane. Will Viagra help?

Rotorheads that are soft in plane have the capability of leading and lagging but they do not have a flapping hinge. Instead they have a theoretical flapping hinge (either blade flexing or the rotorhead bends). Typical of this type of rotorhead are the Bell 412 and Aerospatial products. There are others but the concept is the same.
