A Ring Around Your Wings

Take eight light blades, surround them with a ring of a chosen weight and shape and we have a very high inertia low total weight system. Such a system would obviously be more costly than a simple two bladed teetering head device, but the cost would be outweighed by the safety. The application would be particularly applicable to light rotorcraft or even a 22. Thoughts??
