Nick;

Perhaps the teetering rotor is slowly being replaced by rotors with greater control authority. Thereby relegating this simpler and lower cost rotor to the recreationalists, in a manner similar to that of the gyrocopter.

Kellett wanted to produced a rigid 3-blade intermeshing helicopter many decades ago.
