In different words, is this what you are saying?[list=a][*]The Robinson has intentionally offset its pitch horn/link horizontally from the teetering hinge. [*]All conventional teetering hubs will unintentionally find that their pitch horn/link is offset vertically from the teetering hinge, when they are subjected to a large amount of collective.
[*]In both cases, when the blades teeters up some of the pitch will automatically be pulled out.[/list=a]
If the above is a correct interpretation of what you are saying, then I agree with you.
What you might want to do is sketch out the two situations. The amount of flap or teeter is relatively small and the blade is close to the horizontal, of course. Therefor you will find that a horizontal offset of 1/2" will change the pitch far far more that a vertical offset of 1/2" will.
Hope this make sense.
