The coning angle is a function of gross weight. If the helicopter only has a pilot the coning angle would reflect that weight and would be a very shallow angle. If the helicopter had a full load the coning angle would be greater.
Using assumed numbers if it took ten degrees of increased pitch to get the helicopter to hover with one person aboard the delta-3 connection would increase by say 2-degrees giving a total pitch of 12-degrees causing the helicopter to rise from the hover. By the same token if it took twelve degrees to hover with a full load the delta-3 connection would increase the collective pitch to say 14-degrees causing the helicopter to rise.
What does the pilot do to maintain the hover? If he decreases collective pitch he will go below the original pitch input to hover and end up back on tera firma. At least I think so.
I believe the problem would go away after passing through translational lift.
