Thanks , Gaseous. I think I see it now. If the flapping hinges are offset, such as on an Enstrom. then any difference in lift will create a force couple on the head which rotates at 1-per-rev.

In a teetering system, the lift of each blade is transmitted throught the center point of the head and there's no force couple.
