Blade Flapping

I have dredged the archives for an answer to my following question and could not find an adequate solution, so apologies if this topic has already been discussed and strangled to a long, slow painful death.

I am aware that some blade flapping takes place in a semi rigid rotor head within the actual blade, as opposed to the teetering head. As a %, how much of the flapping to equality is carried out by the blade and how much by the rotor head?

I am also of the belief that a rigid head does not have any tolerances for flapping to equality, all flapping is carried out by the blades, is this 100% correct?

Finally, how much flapping is carried out in a fully articulated rotor head by the flapping hinges and how much by the blades?

Thanks
