Lu,
my previous explanation of why the R-22 rotorhead has an unusual swashplate configuration obviously didn't sway your opinion.
Someone else here mentioned that R/C helos sometimes have swashplate offsets other than 90 degrees. This raised my curiosity and I went looking.
Check this out; (Scroll down to PART 11) http://www.lance.co.uk/w3mh/articles/html/csm9-11.htm
It talks about rotating the swashplate when you have offset flapping hinges in a R/C helo but they could be talking about the R-22 from the sound of it.
