Bug,

Have you worked out the effective hinge offset with the ring rotor? I ran into headaches using standard Prouty equations. The easiest method is to compare rotating flapping frequency with rotational frequency then use:

Lead angle = 90 * (rpm/60) / frequency.

Rotating flapping frequency will be a standard output from your FEA (or test).

I'm sure this is old hat...
