Nick, you're forgiven. Thanks for the post. Just as I was finished editing my post, I saw yours. Now I'll have to immediately re-edit- Yikes. Phases of Lu, indeed!

Thanks for the in-depth clarification. If you are comparing teetering rotors to articulated, then I can understand more clearly what you are driving at in terms of damping or lack thereof. Good stuff.
I do think that Robinson's delta-3 must help reduce flapping over what it would be for a rotor system without such geometry, but apparently not enough.


Regards
