Wouldn't restricting lead and lag cause tremendous vibrations? How would the blades feather? Or cone? What if the track and balance isn't perfect? What about the aerodynamic effects that this ring would have? At the least, it would cause a lot of drag.
What is the advantage over just stuffing some weights into the blade tips (see Robinson)?
