Heliport,
Thanks.
It's looking like the 'bandwidth' usage ain't going to be too large.
Slowrotor,
I think that two, or more, recreational coaxial helicopters have rigid (no teetering or flapping) hubs with 2 blades each, as you suggest. However, I really question this approach. In addition, one of these coaxials has no ability to autorotate.
The following is a quick 'cut and past' from a UniCopter web page;

"... the extremely rigid rotor of the Hiller lead to "Vibration problems curtailed these tests for fear of damaging the wind tunnel" When you worry about the aircraft wiping out the tunnel, you have problems! ~ Nick Lappos on RAR
Dual rotors with two blades each will result in a lateral vibration when longitudinal cyclic is applied. See:

Mart,
Would you elaborate on 'hub compliance' and on 'zero-zero control loss'. Thanks.
